About

I build software that nurses and therapists actually want to open. My work sits where health care meets everyday logistics: scheduling, follow-up and the forms nobody reads. Before tech, I ran community health programs in Boston, and that still shapes how I think about who a product is really for. For more than a decade I interviewed Tufts applicants across the Upper Midwest as an alumni volunteer, and I still love hearing what 17-year-olds are curious about.
