I started my career as a Trainee and rapidly grew to the level of managing a brownfield project for the organization. Over these years, I have acquired technical knowledge on biopharmaceutical manufacturing, specifically microbial & mammalian-based Drug Substance operations. I have also enhanced my engineering skill set with isolator-based manufacturing techniques related to PFS & Cartridge filling lines. Stelis has constantly challenged me to learn and develop through stretch assignments and supported me in my technical and leadership development.

I joined Stelis with strong research experience but with no exposure to the industry. Stelis has invested in my development to convert my research skills to fulfilling roles in analytical research, product development, quality assurance, managing CoEs for NCE filings, etc. At Stelis, we love what we do and it shows in the strong relationships we have built with our customers and when we look at their success stories that we are part of. What inspires me the most is that the company gives back more than what you invest. I'm extremely proud to be associated with one of the most ethical companies and to work with an organization that is committed to make a difference for its customers.
