A Personal Public Mission

     I'm Irish and Colombian, and I often joke that I'm built for chemical warfare.  The truth is though, I'm not sure I'm built to last very long. My family is full of fun and laughter, and it is also full of disease.  Thus, I've committed much of my career, and life attempting to transform healthcare.  It is for my family, out of love and dread, that I forge on.  

​

     The more I explore the more I have broadened my scope to focus on a wider array of maladies.  By continuing a discovery or development of services and products, relative to genetics, I am convinced that precision medicine lie within DNA derived advancements. I believe that we are entering the fifth - and what may be heralded as the most profound - revolution of the human race.  A biological revolution.  And I'm filled with wonder of what we will achieve by our knowledge, manipulation, and creation of DNA based "technologies."  

      After all, it is the knowledge of the gene - the basic building block of all life - that leads to knowing what we're made of and to knowing our  path toward greater health.  

      In my off hours I volunteer and lend my personal time in other ways. As a former board member and President of their Young Leadership Committee, I continue to work with Cancer Support Community to bring psycho-social support to all affected by cancer.  I also write online educational articles intended to lessen the anxiety around genetics. You can find my writings and projects here on this website.   I also consult for biotech start-up companies  to help them design their market approach and early stages of commercial development.
