How do you define success?
I define success as making a meaningful impact while continuously growing. To me, that includes producing thoughtful, accurate work, strengthening my skills over time, and being someone others trust; someone who communicates clearly, follows through, and collaborates with integrity.
What's the most fulfilling aspect of your job?
The most fulfilling part of my job is connecting science to real-world impact. Whether I’m creating educational resources, synthesizing clinical data, or supporting cross-functional initiatives, it’s rewarding to know the work contributes to better clinical understanding and patient care.

Strong transferable skills like communication, critical thinking, and professionalism will serve you well in any role.
