PharmD · Clinical practice to medical affairs
Clinical evidence, translated for the field.
PharmD with twelve years across clinical practice and healthcare innovation. I built scientific exchange and KOL relationships inside medical affairs at the first company to bring FDA-authorized prescription digital therapeutics to market, and today I own clinical quality across a network of more than 70 acute-care hospitals.

I can present clinical evidence to a KOL in the morning and walk a CFO through adoption economics in the afternoon.
Core strengths
Clinical credibility, scientific exchange, and the ability to translate evidence for the people who act on it.
Digital Therapeutics & Clinical Innovation
Medical affairs work at Pear Therapeutics, the company that brought the first FDA-authorized prescription digital therapeutic to market, across opioid and substance use disorder, behavioral health, and evidence generation.
Clinical Evidence & Scientific Communication
Twelve years of clinical practice plus a weekly bylined healthcare-AI publication: literature evaluation and complex evidence turned into something a clinician or a CFO can act on.
