About

I live a deliberate double life — healthcare strategy consultant by day, spin instructor by passion. Two worlds that couldn't be more different, and yet both have shaped who I am professionally: someone who thrives under pressure, leads with clarity, and genuinely cares about the impact of the work she does. At ZS Associates, I've spent five years working with some of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies across oncology, vaccines, neurology, rare disease, and more. My work spans primary market research, go-to-market strategy, segmentation, and commercial planning — across the US, EU, APAC, and LATAM markets. I've managed 30+ projects, built business development proposals in new business, and maintained an high NPS score across projects. The work is intellectually demanding, and I love that about it. But consulting has also taught me something about myself: I want to see things come to fruition. I want to be part of the ground level — where the decisions are made, the systems are built, and the growth plays out in real time. Outside of work, I coach spin classes at Chakra Athletica — leading high-energy rooms of people to push past what they think they're capable of. It's taught me that leadership isn't just about strategy. It's about showing up, following through, and making every single rep count. I'm driven by mission, energised by complexity, and at my best when I'm building something that matters.
