About
I architect clinical data platforms and AI strategies that turn complex healthcare data into meaningful patient outcomes. With 15+ years leading enterprise initiatives across research institutions, health tech, and patient advocacy organizations, I specialize in the intersection of clinical informatics, machine learning, and healthcare operations.
At the Muscular Dystrophy Association, I'm driving a platform transformation that reimagines how patient registries operate: from legacy data collection to AI-powered, EMR-integrated clinical intelligence systems. My work focuses on establishing data governance frameworks, FHIR-based integrations, and scalable infrastructure that other patient advocacy groups can adopt.
Outside of work, I lead Neighborhood Soccer, a 501(c)(3) supporting youth development and community programming in Chicago's south and west side neighborhoods.
Family, faith, and continuous growth anchor everything I do. You can explore my family gatherings and personal reflections on faith and learning.
