What I love most about Research Finance is knowing that I’m helping drive innovative research forward. By managing the finances, I ensure our faculty and researchers can focus on making leading breakthroughs without worrying about crunching the numbers. It’s incredibly rewarding to play a part in something so impactful.

The relationships I’ve built with my colleagues over the last 15 years, especially with my General Internal Medicine family, have made my time here truly special. For finance professionals, research finance offers the chance to make a meaningful difference in the world of clinical research.
