As a Investigator in the Behavioral Health Sciences division of the National Center for PTSD at VA Boston Healthcare System, I combine my clinical psychology and medical informatics expertise to foster healthcare innovation.
With over ten years of experience as clinical research psychologist, I have developed strong expertise in measurement of adverse health outcomes and treatment of persistent and severe mental illness.
At MIT linQ, I work with a multidisciplinary team of clinicians, engineers, and entrepreneurs to identify unmet needs in healthcare and develop solutions that address them.
At VA Boston, I support the implementation and evaluation of clinical decision support tools that enhance veteran care.
My mission is to use my skills to improve the quality, safety, and efficiency of mental health care and innovation. I am passionate about learning from diverse perspectives and value collaboration and creativity.
