Get to know the people behind Quotient Sciences in our colleague Q&A series.
What’s your current role at Quotient Sciences?
My current role is Head of Development (Formulation Development; Pharmaceutical Science).
How did your career journey here begin?
I began my journey as a placement student in the Formulation Development team at Co‑Formulate, which was later acquired by Quotient Sciences. That early hands‑on experience gave me a strong foundation and set the path for my career here.
What roles or career moves have you made since joining?
Since joining, I’ve progressed through several roles within the same department — starting as a Formulation Scientist and then advancing to Senior Formulation Scientist. I later moved into a more customer‑focused role as a Project Scientist, which gave me a broader view of the drug product development journey and deeper insight into clinical and regulatory requirements. From there, I progressed to Senior Project Scientist before being promoted to Head of Development, where I now also focus on people leadership and supporting the growth and development of our teams.
What have you enjoyed most about your career at Quotient Sciences?
I’ve really enjoyed knowing that the work we do here can ultimately help treat life‑enabling diseases. That sense of purpose is incredibly motivating and inspires me to show up each day striving to do even better.
What’s one achievement you’re proud of?
One of the moments I’m most proud of was when a drug product developed by our team was dosed in an off‑site patient study. We later received a heartfelt letter from one of the study participants, thanking us for the difference the medication had made to their daily life. It was incredibly humbling and a powerful reminder of why our work matters.
What’s helped you progress or develop the most?
Being true to myself has played a big part in my development, along with the support of incredibly talented and experienced colleagues who I’ve learned so much from. I’ve also been fortunate to have great mentors who have guided and challenged me, helping me grow into the role I’m in today.
What advice would you give to someone wanting to progress their career at Quotient Sciences?
Be yourself, stay humble, and be willing to learn. Quotient Sciences is a great place to grow, and if you’re open, curious, and proactive, the organization will help you shape and create your own career path.
