As a graduate student, I developed a range of human centered design and business development skills central to advancing healthcare technology from concept to commercialization. 

​

As a researcher, I aim to understand user needs through empathetic listening, reframing questions to approach challenges differently, and creating innovative solutions. I apply a wide range of translational steps and a human centered design approach to projects. Through my studies, I developed the following strategic business skills:

​

• clinical needs finding

• competitive analysis

• market positioning

• user experience research

• prototype development

• intellectual property analysis

• regulatory strategy 

• reimbursement planning 

• cost/benefit analysis

• financial modeling

• venture capital financing

 

I participated in graduate level courses through the Department of Bioengineering and Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley and the Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences at UCSF.
