About

As a Clinical Research Coordinator III at UMass Chan Medical School, I conduct, coordinate, and disseminate research to improve care for perinatal patients with mood and substance use disorders. I also facilitate UMass Chan's weSPARC Insight Advisory Council to further community engagement in psychiatry and behavioral sciences research. I have a Master of Bioethics degree from Harvard Medical School and a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy and Cognitive Science from Carleton College. With 6+ years of work experience in research and advocacy roles, I am skilled in research compliance, study design, data analysis and dissemination, and implementation of evidence-based health care in clinical settings. I value collaboration, diversity, and innovation, and I seek to bring these perspectives to my work.
