Bev A.

Beverly Adade is a professional in early drug development within pharmaceuticals. Her role is split between conducting primary market research with a patient-focused niche and engaging in patient advocacy and engagement work. She holds a master's degree in bioethics and has more than 15 years of experience in healthcare academia research, including work that began with an internship at Children's Hospital in Minneapolis during high school and continued through agency-side roles supporting pharmaceutical companies with drugs on the market. Her path shifted from aspiring to be a doctor and attending medical school toward bioethics after developing a passion for upholding patient values, particularly in areas like end-of-life care and hospital decision-making. Outside of her professional work, Beverly participates in Toastmasters, is exploring membership in the Rotary Club in Philadelphia, volunteers at her church, and previously served as president of her alumni chapter in New York. She attributes her success and drive to her first-generation Ghanaian family, including her mother's hard work in the medical field, her grandmother's encouragement to pursue education despite limited opportunities, her grandfather's emphasis on finishing school, and her faith in God.
