ISA Alumni Profiles.
Some ISA professionals have chosen to move on to industry, obtain advanced degree programs or pursue other career paths. Although we are saddened when anyone leaves the firm, we are extremely proud of their achievements, and stay in contact with alumni as they continue their careers.

Favorite ISA Engagement
I was involved in a Market Opportunity Assessment for a company interested in the Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) market. The project allowed me to use my scientific background as well as the strategic experience I had learned through working at ISA. In the end, we recommended a short list of licensing candidates, which our client pursued.
How has ISA prepared you for your current endeavor?
I am more comfortable presenting research and leading seminars because of the experience I gained presenting to clients. Most importantly, I can think through any issue in a very structured and yet dynamic way, and come to a solution.
