In other words, it was stupid.But you have to be delusional enough to bet on yourself ...

Good morning everyone. If someone had told me fresh out of my masters in pharmaceutical sciences that one day I would be standing under the stage lights not in a lap coat but in costume. I would have laughed.But life as it turns out to be has a flare for drama and I leaned into it. I started my career in the world of molecules and formulations.
