What I'm looking for

I am seeking public health policy or research roles where I can apply data analysis and policy expertise to advance health equity, work collaboratively on multidisciplinary teams, and deliver measurable improvements in care affordability.

I am a Master of Public Health professional with six years of experience in healthcare, behavioral health research, and health policy, specializing in policy research and pharmacoeconomics.

In my current role as a Policy Advisor III I analyze prescription drug supply chains, ensure data accuracy from manufacturers and PBMs, and produce policy briefs, reports, and presentations that inform decision-making. I have led large-scale systematic reviews, managed project timelines, and developed policy recommendations focused on affordability and health equity.
