Biography

I am dedicated to advancing health outcomes and promoting health equity through interdisciplinary research. My expertise lies in the integration and novel analysis of health data sets, including electronic health records, public health records, genomics data, and social determinants. Through this work, I aim to drive innovation in clinical practice, enable evaluation of public health interventions, and inform policymakers. As a Chief Research Informatics Officer, I am committed to dismantling barriers to data access and cultivating data literacy and informatics expertise. My goal is to empower healthcare professionals and researchers with the tools and resources they need to make a positive impact on the health and well-being of individuals and communities. With a deep understanding of the importance of health data and its potential to drive meaningful change, I am dedicated to creating a culture of collaboration, innovation, and excellence in research and healthcare.
