Senior Program Manager

International Center for Genetic Disease

Brigham and Women’s Hospital

Harvard Medical School

After a successful career in business, she followed a long-held dream to pursue a latent interest in science. During this mid-career change, she served in a research fellowship at Harvard Medical School in cancer genetics while obtaining her graduate degree. With the loss of many loved ones to cancer, she has been passionate about her work in early diagnosis and treatment of various cancers, including pancreatic, bladder, colon, breast, and leukemia. She was pleased to contribute in technical capacities at two renowned cancer centers. She has also found herself to be passionate about the execution and oversight of scientific projects. In this capacity, she has implemented genetics efforts extending beyond her core cancer expertise: infant hearing loss, clinical genetics, and the gamut of genetic sequencing efforts typical of the Broad Institute. She has an extensive network of contacts in the genomics community, and extensive knowledge of the details of running research and clinical genomic programs
