A highly motivated and accomplished professional with over 15 years of experience in medicine development, evaluation, and regulatory compliance across both industry and academia. I have a proven track record in leading teams, managing projects and programs, strategic planning and stakeholder engagement and consistently delivering high-quality outcomes with integrity and influence.In my 7 years at a TGA Australia and US-FDA certified pharmaceutical company, I played a pivotal role in ensuring quality assurance, managing audits, and securing regulatory accreditations. Over the past 9 years in academia at two leading Australian universities, I have been instrumental in advancing two drug candidates (Auceliciclib and Sunaciclib) from preclinical to clinical development, targeting hard-to-treat cancers such as brain and pancreatic cancer. I contributed significantly to securing major government grants, including those from MRFF and NHMRC, and fostered national and international collaborations. My work has resulted in over 20 high-impact publications, a patent, numerous presentations at various forums and several prestigious awards.
