About Me

I’m a public health data professional with a decade of experience in healthcare and technology in New York City. I’ve been fortunate to work in a variety of capacities, from interacting directly with patients, to building and supporting EHR-adjacent tools, to working with state and local government agencies. I’ve transformed and analyzed data from all sorts of sources, including:

  • Patient Portals
  • Electronic Health Records
  • Disease Surveillance Interfaces
  • Health Information Exchanges
  • Operations Databases
  • Open Data Repositories
  • Financial Systems

I believe that being a good steward of data and remembering the humanity in it is the most important thing data professionals can do.

I graduated from the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University with an MPH in sociomedical sciences and research methods, and from Smith College with a BA in anthropology and archaeology.

When I’m not playing around with NYC Open Data, you’ll find me rock climbing, attempting to sew, or trying out a new recipe.
