About Me

I am an experienced clinician, independent consultant and health system Board of Director whose focus is designing and deploying organizational clinical and quality transformation, and tech-enabled new/ improved care models to improve patient care across the continuum.

I work with provider-oriented clients, non-profit policy organizations and digital health (med/bio tech) companies to develop strategies to optimize existing services or to develop new capabilities/services to realize practical benefits to patients and customers.

My style is pragmatic, actionable and appropriately creative in order to find new frontiers of value.

I am a published author and her articles can be found in the Archives of Internal Medicine (April, 2010), Joint Commissions' Journal on Quality and Patient Safety (Dec, 2009 and Feb, 2012), Journal of Nursing Administration (March, 2010) among several other notable publications. I have been an invited speaker at numerous national conferences including, Joint Commission, National Quality Forum, University Health Consortium (UHC), RAND Corp., Stanford University, American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP), BMJ’s International Conference, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), Moore Foundation, Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), American Organization of Nurse Executives (AONE).

I completed my Master's in Public Administration at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government where I focused on patient safety and error reduction policies. I hold a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing from Columbia University in New York City and a Bachelor’s of Arts from UC Berkeley.
