With a PhD in Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry from the University of Toronto—earned through a collaborative program with the Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering—I’ve dedicated my career to bridging science, regulation, and innovation. I also hold a Master’s and Bachelor’s in Bioengineering from the University of Illinois at Chicago, with concentrations in cell and tissue engineering, and neural engineering, respectively. My research has explored everything from neuroprotective drug delivery and spinal cord injury repair to cellular alignment and polymer science, resulting in numerous peer-reviewed publications and a patent.
Over the past two decades, I’ve held leadership roles in global regulatory affairs for combination products, medical devices, and pharmaceuticals. I’ve supported companies through device and drug premarket submissions, preparation of CMC documentation, global registration strategies, clinical regulatory strategies, DHF remediations, Quality Management System development and optimization, and product lifecycle management. My work has touched every stage of product development—from concept to market launch—at large and small organizations and as a consultant. I formed MedTegrity RQ in 2025 with the intent to help MedTech companies navigate the complex intersection of innovation and compliance with integrity, clarity, and creativity.
Outside of work, I’m the proud mom of two amazing teenagers and two gentle giant mastiff dogs. I recharge by getting lost in nature—camping, hiking, canoeing, and kayaking whenever I can. I’m also a lifelong artist-at-heart: I play guitar, create mosaic and jewelry art, and am not afraid to take on DIY home renovation projects (even the ones that spiral far beyond the original plan). I’m endlessly fascinated by the art of science and the science of art, and I bring that duality into everything I do—whether I’m reviewing a clinical trial protocol or designing a mosaic from broken tile.
MedTegrity RQ was born from a belief that regulatory work can be both rigorous and imaginative. I built this company for clients who value diligence, depth, and a human-centered partnership—and for those who are trying to make a meaningful impact in healthcare.
