I started at SPGL in 2017, fresh out of university and unsure of what I wanted to do next. In my ongoing journey, SPGL has been a most wonderful partner, guiding me in the Life Science Industry and following up closely on my development. After a few years of working with clients on their projects, I took on a new internal role where I can help others grow and help maintain our company values.
Being surrounded by enthusiastic, fun loving and kind people motivates me every day to give it my all.
