About

Traveling with my close friends is my favorite unwinding activity
If there is a place I can drive to then that will be my chosen mode of transport
Some free time with my charcoals and paint is always welcome

A versatile professional with scientific expertise in oncology, complemented by entrepreneurial and business development experience in product design and therapeutics.

Currently, I am a translational scientist specialized in immuno-oncology and glycobiology at Palleon Pharmaceuticals, where I unravel drug mechanisms and lead IND-enabling studies.

Drawing from my roles as a project advisor at Careers Infinite and a venture developer at Harvard Innovation Labs, I now identify and evaluate breakthrough seed-stage companies as a fellow at Breakout Ventures.

I am passionate about patient-centric drug discovery and collaborative innovation, thriving on the impactful synergy that diverse teams bring. If you are as excited about biotech, entrepreneurship, or simply love brainstorming cool ideas, let’s chat—feel free to start a conversation right here!
