Why is healthcare innovation so important to me? 

Having a mother with schizophrenia, a cousin born with a heart condition and three open heart surgeries along with a stroke at the age of four. I understand how important getting great healthcare can be. That's why, I'm so passionate about helping innovate healthcare and ultimately help people live healthier and happier lives!

Through my personal experience, I have seen first hand the lack of tech innovation in healthcare as well as understanding about mental well-being. I have been extremely fortunate to have amazing support and some of the best doctors in the world. I’m a living embodiment of what healthcare innovation can accomplish and know there are many people looking to push the boundaries of how we care for people. 

I'm looking to join a team just as passionate to make the world a healthier and happier place.  So, that moving forward my cousin and people like my mother have the best healthcare possible. 

I'd love to discuss opportunities in this field with you. I am ambitious, resourceful and relentlessly persistent with an extreme hunger to do well. Let's get in touch and work together.

Still not convinced? Below is how I’ve tried to turn my passion into action so far!

MISSION: Healthcare is broken and undeserved by technology.

Why History?

RESEARCH

It taught me the ability to execute the type of meticulous analysis that product and user research requires. I implement my history research methodology to everything I do. It allows me to gain a profound understanding of a situation as a whole, distinguish aspects of fundamental importance, and classify areas that require the most attention.

WRITING & COMMUNICATION

Those endless research hours were followed by countless hours of writing, re-writing, proofreading, and editing papers. As a result, I obtained robust writing and storytelling skills.  All this practice also expanded my ability to speed-read and write quality papers in short time. And as any great entrepreneur knows, the tech landscape is always changing. So, having the ability to process information and be able to create content quickly is a must.

A BIG PICTURE UNDERSTANDING

I learned that knowing why something happened, and understanding what it means is extremely important.  And that’s one of the crucial aspects of building a strategy. It's one thing to know what results are producing.  It's altogether a different thing to know why your strategies are producing those results and understanding what they mean for your product strategy overall.
