How many years have you been in the industry?
Too many to count – over 25.
Why do you believe that the Device & Diagnostic Labeling Conference is important?
The variety of agenda topics provides an excellent opportunity to educate and inform. When we return, the knowledge obtained is shared with our internal teams. With new information often comes new decisions and those decisions often lead to improved processes, improved quality, reduction in cycle times and most importantly a new way of thinking.

A better understanding o the topic, where it is heading and what it means to them.
What inspires your passion and/or interest for medical product labeling and/or healthcare?
It was and always has been about the patients and products that improve the standard of care.
