My path to public health has been shaped by a career focused on building health care solutions that combine strategy, access, and equity. I began my career in consulting, helping states expand Medicaid programs through home and community-based services, then moved into commercial health care leadership, where I led strategy for mental health, women’s health, and benefit design.
Across each role, my passion has remained consistent: developing solutions not limited to narrow populations or those with the greatest ability to pay, but designed to scale across communities.
Today, I serve as director of strategic growth at Caregiver, a Texas-based long-term care organization that provides services and support for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I help drive market expansion, partnerships, retention, and growth strategy, focusing on scaling the business in underserved markets, finding new growth opportunities, and improving access to person-centered care in the communities we serve.
As a student in the Yale School of Public Health’s Executive MPH program, I specialized in Health Policy and extended my work across Medicaid, commercial health care, and long-term care. My capstone with the New Mexico Department of Health focused on designing an equitable, payer-integrated public health model for psilocybin-assisted therapy. The model aimed to address chronic mental health conditions and improve outcomes through structured coverage, provider standards, patient safety, equity, and evaluation infrastructure.
My public health goal is to build scalable, policy-informed models of care that turn innovation into access with measurable outcomes and lasting impact for underserved populations.
