I am a Senior Scientist in Technical Services at Novonesis, specializing in enzyme applications for food and beverage systems. Based in Franklinton, North Carolina, I work closely with global customers, research teams, and commercial partners to develop innovative solutions that improve functionality, sensory performance, and process efficiency in food products. With extensive experience in enzyme technology, protein chemistry, and product development, I support the commercialization of novel ingredients and processes across a wide range of applications, including plant-based beverages, fermented foods, dairy products, and protein hydrolysates. I am also passionate about advancing sustainable food systems through biotechnology and enjoy bridging the gap between fundamental science and real-world application.
