About
The Short Version
I'm a public health researcher and healthcare analyst based in San Francisco. My career has moved from bench science and field epidemiology through graduate training in epidemiology to applied consulting — with a through-line of curiosity about how social systems shape health outcomes. I currently work in health economics and outcomes research (HEOR) consulting at Analysis Group, where I synthesize literature reviews, build budget impact and economic models, design and analyze qualitative interviews with key stakeholders, and create evidence-based deliverables to support pharmaceutical clients’ market access and reimbursement strategies.
