Business owners, executives, teams, and professionals

I'm a chemical engineer turned biotech business development leader who has spent years bridging the gap between complex technology and the people who need to use it.

After completing my bachelor's in Chemical Engineering at UC San Diego, I worked in surgical navigation — literally standing in operating rooms helping surgeons use machine-vision AI systems. Then I earned a master's in Bioengineering from UC Riverside while working full-time at Corning Life Sciences. Now, as Director of Business Development at ThinkBio.ai, I work with AI-driven biotech tools every day.

Teaching has always been part of who I am. In college I tutored chemistry and physics through the campus tutoring center and served as a supplemental instructor for general chemistry in partnership with my professor for two years. Those experiences taught me how to break complex ideas into clear, approachable steps — a skill I carry into every AI session today.

I started teaching AI skills because I saw the same pattern everywhere: smart, capable business owners who felt lost and overwhelmed by AI — not because it's hard, but because nobody showed them how to use it for their actual work. That's what I do. I build practical AI implementations and train people to maintain them — one workflow at a time. Today Marin AI is a growing team — I lead every engagement and stay hands-on with every client.
