It inspires her to explore discomfort for the sake of growth. With competencies to understand and translate many perspectives while articulating a unique perspective of her own, she takes intention to trigger aha moments that can have ripple effects in mindset and enable collective growth.

She is proud to help facilitate UCB’s cultural evolution with a particular passion for leadership development and diversity and inclusion. She had the privilege of helping to drive innovation in patient value through key initiatives such as digital business transformation, patient engagement, clinical excellence, patient-centered responsible data sharing, and employee engagement.
