I joined hfp consulting in 2023 to support the next generation of scientific leaders in successfully undertaking the demands, challenges, and opportunities of leadership roles.
As a scientist, I am passionate about realizing the full potential of science to do the most good. As a trainer, I seek to empower scientists, especially early career scientists, and scientists from under-represented groups, by creating a safe environment to explore theories, develop skills, and apply techniques that support the different facets of leading a research program.
