I am passionate about using economics, medicine, and policy to address inequity and drive positive change for millions of lives. I believe that solutions to the biggest health challenges facing our world lie at the intersection of policy change and innovation. What excites me most is working with people across such fields who are motivated to improve how health care is delivered to our world’s most vulnerable populations.
