BIO: I believe there is a huge disconnect between how we, as consumers and patients, perceive our individual health and how the healthcare industry may try to manage positive outcomes of population health. I wish to catalyze the convergence of medical technology, connected devices, decentralized cloud-based health records, and genomic data in order to better care for lives.

Curiosity and passion have driven me to pursue a career in healthcare innovation. I hope to utilize my MS in Information Systems and MBA in Health Sector Management to decipher real-world digital evidence and provide people with accurate and actionable health advice. I love working with fast-paced teams and getting everyone involved by having fun and listening well. I get excited about good ideas and I believe that every contributor on my team can be a rock-star when properly inspired.

I’m especially interested in the management of our aging population and the question of how mortality is discussed in healthcare systems and society. The ethos of life, physical health, and mental well-being are interconnected contexts that I consider important in the design of our future healthcare ecosystems.
