Currently in transition

Life sciences communication and programme management.

A scientist by training, I lead life sciences programmes and projects with calm, clarity, and commitment. I thrive in international, cross-functional environments where regulatory and legal compliance are essential. I take ownership of initiatives at any stage, build trusted relationships quickly, and support teams to grow and deliver with confidence.

01 — Bio

A short story.

I'm a senior programme and project management professional with a background in life sciences communication and over 15 years of experience driving complex initiatives in the life sciences sector. As my career developed in medical communication, my interest has focused more and more on the operational backbone of scientific projects: planning, cross-functional leadership, and delivering results under strict regulatory constraints. Teamwork is also particularly important to me, I enjoy supporting colleagues, improving ways of working, and helping teams deliver high-quality projects with confidence and efficiency.

I am now dedicated to applying this expertise to senior programme and project management roles across life sciences environments — from biotech innovators and CROs to health foundations.
