About me

I have a chemistry degree and an MBA and have spent the bulk of my career in supporting scientists and entrepreneurial activities. NC is home to a broad ecosystem of large biomanufacturers, clinical research organizations, and small entrepreneurial R&D companies. The organization supports these activities and advocates on their behalf to state and federal elected officials. We also work closely with our economic development partners across the state to continue to grow the ecosystem.
