I’m a Strategy Associate at Merck Healthcare KGaA, passionate about the interface between science and the pharmaceutical market. Before joining Merck, I completed my PhD studies in Cancer Biology at the German Cancer Research Center. During my PhD, I did internships at Bayer and at Merck.
Between 2019 and 2021, I supported a Portuguese early-stage Biotech start-up as a freelance business developer. I completed my Msc Bioengineering studies at the University of Porto (Portugal), where I also studied Technology Commercialization at Porto Business School. In 2014, I participated in a US Dept. of State-funded program on social entrepreneurship, and since then become a US State Department alumna.
In my free time, I love to practice yoga, go for hikes, cook, or read a great book!
