My interest in healthcare is personal. Both of my parents have spent their careers in medical devices, so growing up I got to see how innovation could have a real impact on a patient's life. Growing up in the Bay Area only deepened that. I grew up watching technology play a central role in how healthcare improved, and those two things have been intertwined for me ever since.

At Accenture, I worked with providers and payers on growth and product strategy, which gave me a close look at how industry leaders were actually thinking about using technology to improve the patient experience. At Samsung Research America, I got to see how fast technology is moving in this space and how much potential there is to use it to genuinely empower people to manage their own health.

During my time at Kellogg, I serve as co-president of the Healthcare at Kellogg Club and co-host the Healthscape podcast. I'm using this time to deepen my understanding of how the healthcare industry works and build the same kind of intuition for where and how AI can be used to address real challenges within it.

When I'm not doing that, I find energy in bringing people together through movement (like group runs) or new experiences (like DIY nights).
