Born and raised in Michigan, I went to school at the University of Toledo where I graduated with a dual major in Pharmaceutics and Cosmetic Science, and a minor in Chemistry. I’m a formulation chemist with experience in a variety of personal care formats and a lot of experience in technical sales. I first worked at Making Cosmetics Inc on the west coast for over 2 years before moving to the east coast to work at Twincraft Skincare for over 4 years. I’ve been at Merit about 8 months now in R&D.
