I am an experienced, energetic and respected nonprofit leader with exceptional communication, strategic and program management skills. In June 2013, I relocated to the Washington, D.C., area. I worked through the summer and early fall with leaders of the narcolepsy community to develop and launch the Unite Narcolepsy initiative, in preparation for effective stakeholder participation in the FDA's Patient-Focused Drug Development Initiative meeting on narcolepsy held Sept. 24, 2013. On Oct. 14, 2013, I joined FasterCures's staff as Director of Strategic Initiatives.
