Co-Founded a fellows' program supporting commercial development of University of Chicago life science technologies. As the inaugural fellow, I established marketing strategies, identifed, and contacted potential commercial customers and worked with the founder to explore operations strategies. Based upon these experiences, I successfully advocated on.

I provided vision and leadership in the creation of a new, sanctioned university organization, established to meet the evolving challenge of merging science and business training. Built and ran an independently funded, widely recognized campus organization representing >100 life science trainees, including graduate students and post-doctoral scientists..

Led groups of 5 (2010 meeting) and 10 (2011 meeting) volunteers to raise funds supporting the annual meeting of the NPA. Raised over $80,000 over two years to support two annual meetings. Developed plans and proposals to solicit funding from commercial sponsors, and communicated the value of the NPA locally and nationally through advocacy.
