A young professional with a demonstrated history of working in the world of biocatalysis and in a fast-paced environment.
A team player, who also appreciates, when required, the value of working autonomously and independently to find
solutions that are tailored towards each project. Strong interests in researching new procedures and commercialising new
products, as well as exchanging knowledge through collaboration and education. Currently looking to broaden how to
think and to tackle problems differently, by building on the skill sets acquired through diverse roles, in a familiar culture that
are aligned with the personal goal.
