I am a dedicated public health professional committed to expanding access to community-based, quality health care. My work is focused on advancing health equity and supporting communities in Boston and beyond through community partnerships, preventive approaches, research, and innovative public health programs.
At the heart of my work lies a deep belief in the power of community connection. I believe in the power of creative arts, storytelling, and creative expression to promote belonging and wellbeing. I am also passionate about harnessing technology, including artificial intelligence, in equitable ways to strengthen public health systems and improve access to care. My work explores how thoughtful and community-based innovation can support underserved communities and build more responsive and compassionate systems of care.
