I am a Scientist with a background in chemistry and a passion for innovation in Life and Health Sciences, Nanotechnology, Advanced Materials, Venture Capital, and Entrepreneurship. I work actively building strategic industry-academia partnerships and working with inspiring entrepreneurs looking to solve innovation challenges. This allows me to help bring the next cutting-edge technologies to the market and actively contribute to economic growth in Canada! I enjoy working on innovative projects across disciplines from life sciences to clean technology, AI/ML/quantum, engineering, EV, and deep tech: the more diverse, the better! To me, the most exciting aspect of my job is working on building meaningful relationships between strategic partners while supporting entrepreneurs to commercialize their tech here in Canada! Outdoor walks with my dogs, traveling, reading, and arts and crafts (recently, embroidery) are some of the relaxing things I enjoy during my free time. I am always happy to make meaningful connections on LinkedIn to expand my network and meet new people! Let´s connect!
