About

For me: “It’s about trying to understand real-world data and real-world evidence and real-world perspectives in order to make improvements in peoples’ lives; facilitating and enacting only changes for the better.” I endeavor to do my best in bringing about improvements in peoples’ lives by thoughtfully crafting my approach to identifying problems and generating solutions through combining my knowledge and skills in data science and design thinking while keeping one eye on the budget and one eye on the ticking clock. I have accumulated over 20 years of experience in addressing real-world problems and formulating practical solutions and developing sustainable changes with business leaders and community leaders across healthcare services, social services, housing, marketing and pharmaceuticals. During my career I have immerse myself in deep data analytics, developed software, designed novel services, improved embedded services and lead teams.
