About me

I am a medical communications professional with 20 years of experience helping pharmaceutical and life science organizations bring their scientific stories to life. Trained as a pharmacist and holding a PhD in pharmaceutical sciences, I bring a deep scientific foundation and strategic mindset to every project I undertake.

Based in Lausanne, Switzerland, a vibrant hub for life sciences and innovation at the heart of Europe, I work with clients both locally and internationally. My career has taken me across Europe and the United States, giving me a global perspective and a nuanced understanding of diverse healthcare landscapes.

I have led global teams and projects for some of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies, including AstraZeneca, Bayer, Merck/MSD, Novartis, Novo Nordisk, and Sanofi. My expertise spans strategic communications planning, omnichannel program delivery, KOL engagement, and high-level scientific content development.

I am passionate about bridging the gap between scientific innovation and effective communication so that healthcare professionals, patients, and other stakeholders can make informed decisions. I focus on turning complex science into clear, credible, and engaging narratives that support meaningful impact.

As a dual Swiss-American citizen, I am fluent in English and French and thrive in multicultural environments. Whether you are launching a new therapy, designing a medical education initiative, or looking to elevate your scientific content, I partner with you to achieve your goals with clarity, creativity, and strategic insight.
