About

🍉 Bio

I’m a pharmacoepidemiologist and clinical researcher focused on translating complex health data into actionable insights that improve patient outcomes and support evidence-based decision-making. My work centers on analyzing health and prescription data to understand patterns in care and outcomes and to communicate findings in ways that make science both clear and practical. I’m especially interested in how real-world evidence can shed light on questions that traditional clinical trials often leave unanswered.

I’m currently part of a team that designs and evaluates data-driven pharmacy coverage strategies, ensuring that patients have access to the most effective therapies while maintaining affordability and transparency. At the heart of my work is a passion for using data to inform better policy, practice, and patient care.

At the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, I focused on leveraging real-world data to address challenging public health questions. For my graduate thesis, I developed a prescription-based risk score to better understand healthcare spending patterns. Earlier, at the NIH’s Clinical Center, I contributed to AI-driven radiology research, modeling liver fibrosis and refining organ segmentation methods.

Before graduate school, I worked in community health, coordinating research and supporting harm reduction through a syringe services program—an experience that deepened my commitment to health equity and to ensuring care is delivered with dignity and compassion.
