Profile
I work in healthcare because I’ve seen the life-saving impact of great care—I wouldn’t be here without it. My goal is to make complex systems feel clear and empowering for clinicians, patients, and everyone in between.


I ask better questions.

I map messy systems.

I synthesize. I prototype. I test.

I build with engineers—not behind them.
