Currently advising and managing complex and distressed situations across Oxford's life sciences, ARR, and leveraged finance loan portfolios. Spent two decades on Oxford's life sciences team prescreening and underwriting new loan opportunities, negotiating terms, managing the portfolio, restructuring troubled credits, and recovering capital from distressed assets. I rose quickly within Oxford (previously serving as Analyst, Portfolio Manager, Director, Senior Director, and Executive Director) and have helped lead the build-out of the credit/portfolio management, workout, and compliance functions for Oxford's life science team, and participated in numerous Oxford investor and lender diligence meetings during its financing processes.

Well Spouse Association is a 35 year old nonprofit membership organization whose mission is to support the unique challenges of the spouses and partners of people living with chronic illness or disability. Nearly 6 million people in the US care for a partner or spouse. As Co-President of the Board for 2023-2025, I work with our volunteers to grow awareness of WSA with the public, deepen engagement with our members, and prepare Well Spouse for continued growth. Recognized as an expert resource on spousal caregiving with the media (including Fortune, Everyday Health, WXXI/NPR, and a number of podcasts), in addition to ongoing board duties including programming, governance, and social media outreach. Of particular interest to me is outreach to other younger well spouses.
