My current role
I currently work as a senior leader for one of the leading companies in the biotechnology industry. Drawing from my professional expertise in genomics, I have first-hand understanding of the profound impact biomedical research has on advancing healthcare and enhancing patient outcomes.
As a CUH patient and a black woman, my personal experience has highlighted the disparities in access to medical and scientific advancements for underrepresented groups.
I aim to champion initiatives that integrate scientific advancements into patient care and advocate for fair and inclusive access to medical breakthroughs for all individuals, regardless of ethnicity or background.
