I feel that luck is preparation meeting opportunity.

Summary

From a young age, I've embraced the values of hard work, commitment, and persistence, shaping my approach to life and work. Characterized by enthusiasm and optimism, I excel at building and nurturing relationships with clients and stakeholders. My drive to exceed targets has been a key motivator throughout my professional journey.

Currently, I am a Senior Business Development Associate at TecEx Medical, a global importer of record specializing in the clinical trial sector. In this role, I conduct research on companies and clients within the clinical trial space, liaise with sponsors, CROs, and vendors, and develop successful pipelines to close deals. I have gained extensive experience working with senior individuals at leading global companies and have consistently been a top performer within my department.

I hold a degree in Life Sciences, Biomedical Sciences Cum Laude, and I am seeking employment opportunities within the business development environment, as it aligns well with my personality, experience, and education.
