We all need to have something that we really get about our business and my, my training,

puts me in a very natural place, especially for Immunon in phase three and really understanding the novelty of what we can bring forward in our plans and how we can expect regulators to react.

But I think more broadly, actually, my ability to dig in and know what a trial design can't even answer, it helps me as a CEO to really think more broadly about how we go beyond the basic conclusions that ultimately come from it and just ask the bigger questions that we need to address.

I had an inside track on the company.

So I was recruited to be on the board by our, at the time, our executive chairman, Michael Tardigno was the CEO.

And I joined on the board about three years before, I think it was June, 2021.

And so I had three years of learning about the technology, understanding the science, seeing how strong of a culture.

The company had a positive culture, a nimbleness, the talent that would come into the boardroom, that would be presenting.

And so there was this very natural insight that was very attractive.

And when Mr. Tardigno approached me, he was supporting

my transition to CEO, he had retired and we had a need we weren't expecting to need to fill.

I think when you have trusted relationships, you also know that you have a shared vision of what we can do and really the opportunity that stands before us.

I felt that

Michael's insight into, you know, the potential really just aligned so perfectly with mine.

And it was such a phenomenal environment that I, unlike many other positions, you know, if you're taking something where you're just interviewing, you really don't know what you don't know.

I came into this really with a very clear expectation that really that played out, I think, very similar to what I expected.

My mom told me for my early years, every time she would ask, my answer was that I wanted to be a mom.

And I think a lot of that was influenced by the fact that my mom was a stay-at-home mom.

So it was what I saw.

It's interesting because I am blessed to be a mom.
