I have over a decade of experience working in the biotechnology industry, with a main focus in Cell and Gene Therapy. I've worked in BSL-1, BSL-2, and BSL-3 facilities, in both regulated and non-regulated environments, with extensive proficiency in cell culture methodologies, including the cultivation of immortalized cell lines, as well as the development of both allogeneic and autologous cell therapies from small to large scale production. I am currently employed by Sonoma Biotherapeutics working in Process Development, assuming leadership roles in technical transfer to manufacturing, continual process enhancement for future-phase manufacturing, and active cross functional collaboration to advance current and prospective platforms. I have a Master of Science (MS) degree in Microbiology from Colorado State University.
