I specialize in bridging medicine, technology, and patient advocacy to design healthcare solutions that are innovative, ethical, and patient-centered. My expertise spans both qualitative and quantitative research methods, allowing me to generate robust evidence that informs clinical practice, policy, and patient-centered interventions.

I have successfully led initiatives that amplify the patient voice in medical research, from developing and validating patient-reported outcomes to creating nationwide patient-centered programs. By fostering collaborations with patient organizations across multiple disease areas, I bridge critical gaps and address unmet healthcare needs.

As co-lead of AI-driven healthcare projects, I integrate advanced technologies with clinical expertise while ensuring privacy, ethical governance, and actionable insights. I manage interdisciplinary teams, outline strategic plans, and implement innovative solutions that enhance patient care and support data-driven decision-making.

With a focus on responsible innovation, rigorous research, and stakeholder engagement, I bring together clinicians, researchers, technologists, and patients to advance healthcare in ways that are both meaningful and sustainable.
