My passion for FDA law was ignited when I realized, firsthand, how much of an impact medical technology has on patients and their families. I have two sisters that live with chronic diseases and conditions and rely on life-sustaining and life-saving medical devices and pharmaceuticals—one of which has endured 140+ brain surgeries and procedures and currently has 9 different implantable devices. I strive to help clients so that they can continue to make their therapies available to the patients that rely on them.
