About Me

I'm a biochemist and computational biologist based in Montreal, Canada, with a passion for solving complex problems at the intersection of biology and data. I hold a MSc in Biochemistry from McGill University, where I investigated protein vulnerabilities in cancer through a blend of computational screening and experimental validation.

Currently, I'm a Medical Writer at bMod Communications, where I transform complex scientific concepts into compelling narratives for healthcare audiences. Prior to this, I worked as an Associate Scientist at IQVIA Laboratories, automating data workflows, optimizing LIMS infrastructure, and conducting ELISA-based assays for both R&D and clinical projects.

Outside of the lab, I enjoy communicating science in creative ways. I’ve presented at conferences, earned recognition for science communication, and hosted TEDx events. My background in improv theater keeps me adaptable, engaging, and always ready to collaborate.

When I'm not pipetting, you'll probably find me out cycling or building side projects like browser-playable games found on the Games Hub.
