I’m a thought leader in pharmaceutical risk management with over 15 years of experience designing and leading strategies that prioritize patient safety, ensure regulatory compliance, and expand access to life-saving therapies. I currently lead a team at a global pharmaceutical company, where we develop and optimize risk management programs across multiple therapeutic areas. My work involves close collaboration with the FDA, and I’m proud to help shape solutions that protect public health while minimizing unnecessary burdens on the healthcare system.

But my purpose goes far beyond regulatory strategy.

I’m deeply committed to advancing health equity, mentoring the next generation of leaders, and creating spaces where underrepresented professionals can thrive. As a Board Member of WOCIP, I co-led the Next Generation Pillar and helped launch the Virtual Career Connections Micro-Conference—connecting college students of color with meaningful career opportunities in life sciences. In 2024, I was honored with WOCIP’s Onyx Award in recognition of my leadership and impact.

My commitment to community continues through my role on the Advisory Council for the RISE Women’s Leadership Forum and my board service with Pathways/Senderos, a youth-focused nonprofit dedicated to building strong families and lifelong success. I also previously served on the Advisory Board for UC Irvine’s Division of Continuing Education.

As a speaker, I regularly share insights on health equity, intentional leadership, imposter syndrome, and using your story as a tool for transformation—sparking reflection and action on stages across the country.

My journey has included leadership roles at Aimmune Therapeutics—where I earned the Pinnacle Award for leading global REMS initiatives—as well as Titan Pharmaceuticals, Alexion Pharmaceuticals, and Aetna. My work and voice have been featured in We Are Pharma and Extraordinary Latinas Vol IV, and I’m honored to be the 2025 recipient of the REMS Industry Consortium’s Ambassador Award.

I hold an MBA from Post University, a BA in Criminology from Central Connecticut State University, and I’m currently pursuing my doctorate.

As a proud first-generation Puerto Rican-American wife and mom of two incredible daughters, I carry my culture, my community, and my commitment to service into everything I do. Whether I’m leading teams, coaching rising professionals, or speaking from the stage, I show up with strategy, compassion, and the belief that we rise by lifting others.
