I grew up in the beautiful desert of Southern California with a deep love & respect for Nature.  

I'm a scientist with deep curiosity for protein sciences, synthetic biology, and natural products. With over a decade of experience, I explore biosynthetic pathways & enzyme structure-mechanisms to uncover nature’s chemical potential for therapeutics and biomanufacturing. Whether backpacking through the Sierra mountains or working in the lab, I am driven by discovery and collaboration. I thrive on learning, integrating diverse approaches, and working with teams to solve complex challenges and advance meaningful innovation.
I am always eager to explore new challenges and collaborations. If you need consulting or just want to talk science, let’s connect & see how we can work together.
