Bio

I am a health research and evaluation program and project leader with over 18 years of experience in policy review, research management, and service evaluation. I have worked across industry and academia including state and federal government, universities, start-ups, and the private sector. Currently, I am project manager for the Implementation to Impact Team (i2i) within the School of Population Health leading federally funded national newborn bloodspot screening expansion, including clinical trials. My research interests include health systems reform, measurement for improvement, and improving health access and outcomes for vulnerable and priority populations.
