Summary

I am a passionate and accomplished professional with an MSc in Personalised Nutrition, a solid foundation in clinical practice, and a unique blend of expertise in business development, professional education, and creative communication. I have a great passion for connecting science with health concerns and helping people reach their goals with an evidence-based approach. With a positive attitude I strive for excellence and enjoy continuous development, a collaborative team environment, and possess strong motivational and leadership qualities, challenging and influencing change. My entertainment background allows me to thrive on giving engaging presentations and inspiring training sessions that translate complex science into easy to understand terms and analogies, combining passion, personal empowerment with scientific rigor, and the ability to tailor the messages to suit healthcare professionals and laypersons alike.

As a Medical and Professional Affairs Manager in Nutrition, I am committed to leveraging my diverse skill set to lead initiatives that advance the understanding and application of nutritional science, including the critical field of eyecare. My goal is to foster collaborations that elevate nutritional standards on a broader scale, support our teams and healthcare professionals in the nutrition and eyecare industry.
