About Me

I work across translational oncology, digital health tools, and public health delivery. My focus is grounded in clinical reality: caring for patients across inpatient units as a float-pool Patient Care Assistant, investigating molecular mechanisms in colorectal cancer, and auditing hospital-wide operational workflows to identify care bottlenecks. Experiencing healthcare from the bedside to institutional operations has driven my interest in what can be built to support patients long before acute intervention is needed.

To turn those observations into scalable interventions, I build practical tools across education, technology, and health equity. Through Wellness Within Reach, I co-led the publication and distribution of local mental health navigation guides across 16 counties to lower barriers to existing care. Alongside this, I co-found user-centered AI platforms like GuruAI to reduce educational friction and evaluate clinical LLM outputs to identify where health communication falls short for patients. Across the lab, the hospital, and community initiatives, my goal is to bridge frontline clinical insights with accessible systems that make care workable, understandable, and sustainable.
