I have made key contributions to over $2B of contract and facility license awards as a business developer, state cannabis licensee, company COO, capture manager, and freelance consultant. I managed over $10M/year of biomedical R&D task orders as on-site Deputy Program Manager at HHS NIH NIAID's Vaccine Research Center (VRC) and Division of Intramural Research (DIR). I bring a decade of professional experience supporting US Federal agencies, state programs, and private companies who are primarily involved in biomedical R&D, grants administration, and government contracting.At the state level, I was an equity partner at a consulting startup, serving as COO to lead bids for 23 winning MMJ facility license awards while managing a staff of 15+ in our first year of business. I have consulted for companies to help win awards for scientific, technology, and professional services and solutions contracts as an independent freelance consultant. I am a professional artist focused on corporate graphic design. I have designed corporate logos, infographics, technical diagrams, and other business designs for campaigns, winning proposals, state constitutional elections, and more. Highlights include: book cover for a NYT best selling author, a logo for a Harvard Law School society, designs for Missouri State Constitutional Amendment 2's winning ballot campaign, technical documentation for HHS grantsolutions.gov's enterprise architecture team.I am a former professional opera singer (solo engagements around Washington DC including the Atlas Arts Theater, In Series Opera, Studio Theater, Kennedy Center, and more). MISSION: I believe that we can accelerate the process of scientific discovery and uncover new possibilities in public health when we align the business infrastructure of government contracting to the evolving trajectory of research, medicine, and technology. I am committed to making an impact.
