ABOUT ME

I am an applied health researcher focused on improving how care is delivered, measured, and continuously refined in real-world settings.

My work sits at the intersection of real-world evidence, clinical care, and system design. I design and lead research that goes beyond generating insights—ensuring findings are rigorous, interpretable, and directly useful for clinical, operational, and strategic decision-making.

Across my experience, I have led end-to-end studies using self-report paired with claims and electronic health record data, often in complex and messy environments where traditional research approaches fall short. I am particularly drawn to these settings, where careful study design, thoughtful use of imperfect data, and strong cross-functional collaboration are essential to producing meaningful results.

Focus on Weight Stigma and Access

A central focus of my work is understanding how weight stigma and structural bias shape care delivery, access, and outcomes.

Weight stigma can influence:

  • Who is identified as needing care

  • How symptoms are interpreted

  • What treatment is offered—and to whom

  • How outcomes are measured and evaluated

I am particularly interested in how research can more accurately capture patient need and experience, and how evidence can be used to inform more equitable, inclusive models of care.

Other Areas of Focus

  • Eating disorder outcomes and care delivery

  • Real-world evidence (claims and EHR data)

  • Study design in non-experimental settings

  • Cross-functional research leadership

  • Translating evidence into clinical and operational impact

I am also interested in how early environments and developmental contexts shape risk, access to care, and long-term health trajectories.

Outside of Work

Outside of work I enjoy hiking and exploring with my family.

Call to Action

I’m always interested in connecting with others working to improve eating disorder care, reduce weight stigma, advance equitable treatment, and translate research into meaningful system change.
