I'm fascinated by microbes as agents of change in our bodies and the environment. Twenty-five years ago, I started working to understand how microbes transform oceans, clean up toxic environments, and help plants to grow.
I believe modulating the microbiome can have tremendous benefits for human health. I've been fortunate to contribute to the field of microbiome therapeutics, being involved in some of the first clinical studies in the mid-2010s. My experience at Johnson & Johnson provided me with a first-hand view of microbiome translation to big pharma. At Seed, I was lucky to lead a team delivering best in class science to support Seed's market-leading DS-01 synbiotic and the launch of the VS-01 vaginal synbiotic.
Over the years, I've built foundational and practical knowledge in consumer health and therapeutics product development targeting gut, skin, vaginal, lung, and infant microbiomes. My work has spanned discovery, preclinical development, and clinical development, emphasizing the importance of scientific communication.
I'm excited to use this skill set to help innovators bring products to market, leveraging my abilities in scientific consulting to develop IP and communicate scientific innovation, evidenced by 5 granted patents and 27 scientific publications.

The development of scientific messaging for microbiome products involves strategic scientific communication aimed at marketing, regulatory bodies, and consumers. This process is essential in product development and often requires expert scientific consulting combined with a marketing mindset.
The development of a robust patent portfolio and the strategic roadmapping of scientific innovation are essential for advancing microbiome therapeutics and CPG product development. I have extensive experience in building data packages for patent filings.
