B.A.s in Cognitive Science (Computation Concentration) and Classical Studies
Minor: Philosophy

• Chosen for Roche’s 2-year Operations Rotational Development Program (~<2% annual acceptance) spanning engineering and business operations in global Pharma Technical Operations.
• Project Manager — Global Manufacturing Network Ops: Led harmonization across 9 global sites impacting 800+ technicians; built a technician competency matrix and dashboards to prioritize high-risk process areas, improving deviation closure time by ~20–25%.
• Compliance Lead — Drug Product Manufacturing: Designed and led a proactive cGMP compliance initiative, closing gaps that launched 6 new CapEx projects; enabled a successful FDA audit with no red-flag observations and mitigated regulatory risk, avoiding potential $10M+ per-batch write-offs.
• Data Product Owner — Global Engineering: Built a risk-assessment data product covering $745M+ in direct materials spend to strengthen supply resilience (prevent stockouts; OTIF-based negotiation levers); managed a cross-functional team of data engineers and scientists to ship stakeholder-driven features.
• Data Scientist — Clinical Supply Chain: Automated and standardized reporting across 300 trials, saving 500+ manual hours annually; enabled waste-reduction initiatives and standardized patient/program reports for pre-stocking strategies.

• Managed a $150M direct-materials procurement portfolio with Global Category Managers; enabled contract renegotiations with top suppliers, contributing to ~20% pricing reductions across 4 key vendors and $3.4M in material cost savings.
• Aligned stakeholders (Quality, Clinical, Commercial) and managed KPI indices (surveys, delivery metrics) to support global supplier relationship management.

• Managed library and rehearsal logistics for the San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra (~109 musicians); prepared annotated scores and supported 5 annual subscription concerts and community outreach.

• Led a team of 10 TAs; taught and supported ~300 students via weekly sections and office hours; redesigned assessments and project frameworks to improve performance and consistency across sections.

• Project manager for a self-driving vehicle safety lab; authored a peer-reviewed article and analyzed driving-simulator datasets to generate predictive models and study insights.

• Led projects delivering critical COVID-19 public-health information to underserved communities.
• Translated CDC communications to minority languages (esp. Vietnamese), simplifying technical jargon.
• Co-designed and edited illustrations for COVID-19 communication deliverables.

• Computational imaging and 3D analysis of artifacts from the 7th-century Yassiada shipwreck.

• Studied human decision-making with a high-fidelity driving simulator; analyzed/visualized data using statistical models in Jupyter. See paper published here.
