*Excellent oral and written communication skills.  Published 72 articles on foods, nutraceuticals, & cannabis, with 11 articles on pharmaceutical topics (including 3 book chapters).

*Deep knowledge in IP across healthcare (drugs, nanotechnology) & chemistry.  Over five years experience as an IP consultant.  Experience as expert witness (nutraceutical litigation/tablets and capsules).  I helped win my first nutraceutical case at trial.

*Knowledge of FDA regulations governing pharmaceuticals & nutraceuticals.  Experience in global regulatory affairs: strong project management and regulatory writing skills.  Managed writing, compiling, and editing of CMC sections (drug substance/drug product) for two IMPDs (lyophilized biologics: recombinant growth factor and hormone) and BLA (interferon).
