WELCOME, I'M TERYN
My passion lies in creative problem solving both within and outside of the sciences. I am a strategic advisor and innovation consultant for startups, providing creative direction across a wide variety of sectors. I also provide beta testing and growth optimization, connecting startups to investment opportunities, partnerships and various entrepreneurial networks.
Currently, I am pursuing my PhD at Columbia in Neuroscience with a focus on immunoengineering cellular therapeutics for cancer. I have previous experience analyzing and evaluating startups for VC firms.
