About
Beyond a single discipline.
A background built to connect ideas.
My path began in pharmacy and expanded into doctoral research that combines biological experiments, pharmacology, formulation science, and analysis. That breadth shapes how I approach unfamiliar problems: frame the question, choose the right methods, test carefully, and communicate what the evidence supports.
