My Journey
Born and raised in Philadelphia, I embarked on a transformative journey that took me to the beautiful island of Puerto Rico, where I spent many enriching years building my career and life. After Hurricane Maria's devastating impact in 2017 left irreconcilable damage to the island, I made the difficult decision to return to my hometown of Philadelphia in 2018. This experience has shaped me into a resilient professional with over a decade of expertise in pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturing, bringing a unique perspective from both mainland and island operations.

Beyond the Lab
When I'm not ensuring quality and compliance in pharmaceutical manufacturing, I enjoy exploring Philadelphia's rich history and vibrant food scene. As a bilingual professional, I'm passionate about bridging cultural gaps and mentoring young professionals entering the industry. I find joy in analytical problem-solving puzzles, staying current with emerging technologies in manufacturing, and spending quality time with family and friends. My experience living in both Puerto Rico and Philadelphia has given me a deep appreciation for diverse cultures and the importance of community resilience.
