For two decades, I've worked at the intersection of healthcare, research, technology, and lived experience. Throughout my career, I've helped healthcare organizations solve complex challenges involving patient engagement, partnerships, commercialization, and growth—but the question that has always interested me most is much simpler:
 

How do we design healthcare systems that people actually trust?
 

I've worked across digital health, clinical research, academic medicine, and nonprofit leadership, partnering with health systems, life sciences organizations, startups, researchers, and patient advocacy organizations to turn complex problems into practical, people-centered strategies. Whether I'm helping an executive team rethink partnerships, advising on patient engagement, or speaking to an audience of clinicians, my work is rooted in the belief that healthcare's biggest challenges are rarely just technical—they're human.
 

That perspective became deeply personal in 2023 when my six-year-old daughter, Rona, died following complications after a four-month hospitalization for aplastic anemia. Experiencing the healthcare system as both a healthcare executive and a parent fundamentally changed how I think about innovation, quality, trust, and what truly matters to patients and families.
 

After Rona died, I founded Rona's FUN LAB, a nonprofit organization working to create a world where quality of life factors into the treatment equation for critically ill children. Through education, advocacy, and partnerships, we're helping healthcare providers, researchers, and industry leaders rethink how children and families experience care—not just clinically, but emotionally and developmentally.
 

Today, my work spans consulting, advising, speaking, writing, and advocacy. I collaborate with many organizations including WCG, CTTI, the Pediatric Inclusion Alliance, and initiatives within the Milken Institute. Through my consulting work, I help healthcare organizations solve strategic challenges involving trust, stakeholder engagement, partnerships, commercialization, and organizational growth.

​

I'm also a keynote speaker, writer, and am known as the Momatologist™, where I explore the intersection of caregiving, grief, healthcare, leadership, and systems change. Whether I'm on a TEDx stage, leading an executive workshop, or writing about the future of healthcare, my goal is always the same: to help people see familiar challenges from a new perspective and leave with practical ideas they can put into action.

​

I hold a Master of Public Health from Columbia University, a Bachelor of Science from Boston University, and I'm Certified in Public Health (CPH).

At the end of the day, I believe healthcare works best when we remember that every policy, every product, every innovation, and every strategy ultimately exists to serve a person. That's the perspective I bring to every room I'm invited into.
