What is your reason for joining HBA?
I joined HBA to connect with people who are driving healthcare innovation and to be part of a community that fosters the professional development of women. Recently, I joined the HBA Canada Amplifier program to help strengthen HBA Canada’s digital voice by nudging more women within the healthcare industry to take advantage of the tremendous development and networking opportunities that HBA offers.
What is a risk you couldn't imagine not having taken?
Early in my career, I discovered a deep passion for optimizing commercial strategies to accelerate patient access to care. That realization led me to take a leap from clinical practice into the pharmaceutical industry, a move that felt risky and unconventional at the time. Yet, it opened the door to challenges that stretched me and successes that defined me. I couldn’t imagine not having taken that risk which fundamentally shaped the professional and person I’ve become.
