What I'm looking for

I aim to design systems that make services like healthcare, education, and financial tools more equitable and accessible. Focused on using data, strategy, and collaboration, I want to build scalable, human-centered programs and products. Whether in health or another field, my goal is to create thoughtful, measurable, and impactful change for real people.

I am a Research Analyst and graduate student in Population Health Informatics with a passion for building data-driven solutions that improve healthcare access and equity. With a background spanning provider network design, clinical program operations, and public health innovation, I specialize in translating complex data into actionable strategies that advance community well-being. I am driven by a commitment to bridging technology, health, and human-centered design to create smarter systems for the future.
