Bridging technology & clinical care to transform mental health
As a clinical psychologist with leadership and advisory experience in major health systems and digital mental health companies, my unique perspective combines deep clinical knowledge with a strong foundation in technology.
Before my clinical career, I worked as a software developer, giving me "unicorn" expertise in clinical care, product, and technological innovation.
My specialties lie in clinical quality, patient safety, and clinical care—especially in how these elements translate into digital health solutions powered by product, people, and advanced technologies like AI.
I am passionate about leveraging my multidimensional expertise to advise organizations, innovate within the digital health space, and speak on topics that drive the future of mental healthcare.
