More About Me
Passions & Perspectives
I’m passionate about regulatory compliance with over 12 years of experience in the field. I enjoy turning complex regulatory requirements into clear, actionable steps, working closely with teams across R&D and operations, and staying on top of evolving global regulations. Bilingual in Spanish and English, I collaborate with diverse teams, streamline processes, and make compliance as smooth and understandable as possible.
Outside of work, I am fond of the outdoors and tending to my herb, vegetable, and flower gardens; I love incorporating freshly grown ingredients into my recipes. I also cherish the restorative ritual of opening a good book.
