About

I'm a PhD-trained proteomics expert with deep experience in mass spectrometry-based workflows, scientific problem-solving, and clear communication. I help biotech companies, academic cores, and research teams make the most of their data — whether that’s through consulting, custom tools, training, or technical writing.

​

With a strong background in experimental design, lab setup, and method optimization, I specialize in translating complex biological questions into actionable MS-based solutions. If you’re launching a new workflow, scaling a lab, or need high-quality application notes, I’m here to help you move faster, with more clarity and confidence.
