I am an engineer and serial entrepreneur with a passion for biotechnology. My experience ranges from a cutting edge biomedical device R&D laboratory to an escape room company notorious for its delightful special effects, all supported by my degree in mechanical engineering and hundreds of hours at my community makerspace honing my design and fabrication skills. In my twelve years of entrepreneurship I've built three companies with strong cultures of creativity, support, and innovation.
