About Me

​

With over a quarter-century dedicated to the ever-evolving world of pharmaceutical manufacturing, my professional career began as a graduate from Purdue, armed with a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering. 

​

My insatiable drive for knowledge and growth propelled me to pursue an MBA from Northwestern, an institution renowned for shaping global leaders.

​

I have held both domestic and global leadership roles over the past 15 years.  Building teams around the globe has been one of my many career highlights. I have always been committed to delivering high quality service and setting the highest expectations for myself and my teams, continuously seeking next-level performance, a personal commitment to excellence and owning a proven track record of delivering results.

 

I have lived and worked across the United States and even drove across the country three times with my pups.  From Indiana to New Jersey, Florida, New York to California, I am now based in Newport Beach, California.  All of these moves have helped me grow both personally and professionally.
