I am an Intellectual Property Manager at UK Innovate (the Office of Technology Commercialization) at the University of Kentucky, where I provide intellectual property analysis and assist in developing protection strategies for UK innovations. In my current role, I work with researchers, inventors, and entrepreneurs to identify, evaluate, and protect their intellectual property rights and commercialization potential. I also conduct patent searches, draft patent applications, and coordinate with outside counsel and patent examiners. I am passionate about fostering innovation and entrepreneurship, and I enjoy collaborating with diverse and talented teams to support the advancement of UK's research and economic development. I bring a unique combination of technical, legal, and business expertise to any organization that values creativity, excellence, and impact.
