    • Leader of Tomorrow - GapSummit 2020
      • Dec 2019 - Oct 2020

      Was selected to be part of this year's global cohort of 100 Leaders of Tomorrow by GapSummit. With this, I will attend a conference in Cambridge in September (now virtual) with the opportunity to meet several biotech execs, attend leadership building seminars, gain insights on what the future in biotech holds, and formulate how to address gaps that exists in healthcare today. In addition, we are divided into groups to do an international case competition to identify a product idea to address a gap with legitimate patient feasibility and market potential. To work with the tight timeline, we had the guidance of an industry executive mentor and worked together to address an idea for improving the CAR-T treatment process. I worked on the portion of the project covering our product's go-to-market strategy, competitive landscape, and cost assertions. Show less
