I’ve built wellbeing initiatives from scratch, and I bring a rigorous, human-centered approach grounded in community and oncology psychology.
Most recently at Maven Clinic, I lead multi-function wellbeing program operations across EMEA, the UK, India, and Canada for a 2M+ member population—covering member wellbeing support, benefits reimbursement processing, and resource allocation, while coordinating end-to-end case management across time zones. Previously at Schneider Electric, I designed and launched a corporate wellbeing program from scratch and grew it to a global coordination role, delivering 100+ multilingual mindfulness and wellbeing sessions and influencing senior leadership to embed wellbeing as a strategic priority.
