Motivation for Joining Nuvera
“My passion for science stems from my desire to make a difference in patient lives and improve healthcare through scientific discovery. As a consultant, I use my scientific expertise and hypothesis-driven mindset to help patients access valuable treatments. Joining the team at Nuvera allows me to collaborate with talented individuals to create opportunities for better patient outcomes.

Greetings everyone, I’m Emma and I’m thrilled to be a consultant at Nuvera! Over the past two years, I’ve had the privilege of providing strategic guidance, advice, and innovative solutions to clients in the life science industry. My managers and colleagues have been invaluable resources, constantly helping me expand my knowledge and skills in this complex field. I’m passionate about using my expertise to drive growth and innovation in the industry. When I’m not working, you can find me doting on my furry companion, honing my watercolor skills, or enjoying a glass of wine with good friends.
What’s your go-to productivity trick?
My go-to productivity trick is creating a to-do list, plugging in my headphones, and blasting some high-tempo music. While it may be a bit damaging to my hearing, I’ve found that this approach allows me to achieve a state of hyperfocus for extended periods, which is especially helpful when facing a significant workload in a limited timeframe. By prioritizing tasks and immersing myself in upbeat tunes, I’m able to tune out distractions and channel all of my energy toward completing each item on my list efficiently and effectively.
If you could add one thing to Nuvera’s office, what would it be?
If I could add one thing to Nuvera’s office, it would be a ping pong table! Although we already have a foosball table that’s great for winding down at the end of the day, I think a ping pong table would be a fantastic addition to our workplace. Not only would it provide a fun and active outlet for stress relief during the workday, but it would also encourage teamwork and friendly competition among coworkers. Additionally, ping pong is a sport that can be enjoyed by individuals of all skill levels and ages, making it an ideal addition to our office environment.
What’s one thing you’re currently trying to make a habit?
One thing I’m currently working on turning into a habit is exercise. While I haven’t always enjoyed working out, I’ve come to recognize the numerous benefits it provides, both for my physical health and my productivity. By establishing a consistent exercise routine, I find that I’m better able to structure my week and maintain a higher level of energy and focus throughout the day. While it can be challenging at times, I’m committed to making exercise a regular part of my lifestyle and reaping the rewards it offers.
If you could choose a superpower, what would it be?
If I could choose any superpower, it would be the ability to instantly absorb the contents of any book. While it might seem a bit nerdy, I’m deeply passionate about learning and expanding my knowledge. With the ability to read at lightning speed, I could consume vast amounts of information and gain valuable insights more efficiently than ever before. Whether I’m studying for work or pursuing personal interests, this superpower would give me a distinct advantage in staying informed and staying ahead of the curve.
What book are you reading now?
I’m currently reading The Outsider by Stephen King, and it’s been a wild ride so far. King’s writing always takes me on a journey full of twists, turns, and heart-pounding suspense. Even though I know I should probably be winding down before bed, I just can’t put this book down – it’s the literary equivalent of a roller coaster that keeps me on the edge of my seat. If you’re a fan of King’s work or just love a good thriller, I highly recommend checking it out.
The Nuvera team came together last week to learn the art of Italian cooking. We had a great time taking a break from work and catching up over some delicious food. Some team members really showcased their cooking skills while others might need a bit more practice, but that is all part of the fun. The team worked together to make a mouthwatering three course meal of stuffed mushrooms, pappardelle pasta with a tomato burrata sauce or a Bolognese sauce, and rounded out the evening with chocolate tiramisu. Overall it was a fun night with some great laughs.
