About me

Where requirements become workable systems.

I am a Quality Assurance & Regulatory Affairs professional with a Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering and experience spanning both QA/RA and product development in regulated environments.

My work supports the development and market readiness of disruptive medical devices and combination products through quality, regulatory and product-development activities across the lifecycle.
