This half of the partnership

I’ve worked in executive search consulting since 2010, and before that in laboratories at Yale University and Johns Hopkins University. I enjoy collaborating with research universities, academic medical centers, and biotech companies that contribute to the world through research, education, and service.

My education is in the sciences and humanities - degree in the History of Science and Medicine. My volunteer work has revolved around the Mothers' Milk Bank of Mississippi and the former Jackson Women's Health Organization, and I serve as the Board Treasurer of the Magnolia Montessori School.

Born in Denmark, with family in the United States, I’ve grown up in two cultures. Similarly, I’ve bridged the academic and non-academic worlds for much of my life.

My education is in the sciences - degrees in Chemistry, Medical Sciences, and Genetics. Literature, music, and dance are my passions.

I’ve worked in executive search consulting since 2010, and started EDDA partners in 2021. Before that I worked in laboratories at Boston Children’s Hospital, Brandeis University, and UMass Medical Center.

My volunteer work has revolved around Revels, Inc., working with second graders in the Argenziano School, and coaching youth soccer in Somerville, MA.
