I am based in Del Mar and study molecular and medical microbiology at UC Davis, with a minor in quantitative biology and bioinformatics. Most of my time splits between two places that usually don't overlap: a clinical lab and a sales channel.
On the science side, I run assays, isolate plasma, and manage a cancer-biology lab where I decide who we hire, build the schedule, and help with grants and publications. On the business side, I've priced hundreds of SKUs, built AI workflows, and started a small product company in high school.
My public-health work adds a third piece: listening to people whose needs cannot be reduced to a spreadsheet. Organizing global-health advocacy, supporting care at the US–Mexico border, and volunteering in Kenya have made access and implementation feel as important to me as the underlying science.
Biotech sales is the role where those experiences can do the same work. The job is to understand the evidence, explain it honestly, recognize what a customer actually needs, and carry the relationship through to a measurable result.
