My Story
My Philosophy
Medicine taught me to see problems. Product management taught me to solve them at scale. But what truly drives me is the belief that healthcare technology should feel invisible to the people it serves. Good products don't announce themselves. They simply make hard things easier and painful things bearable.
Throughout my journey from clinical settings to global product strategy, I've learned that impact comes from understanding both the science and the human story. Every data point represents someone's parent, child, or partner awaiting answers. This perspective shapes how I approach every product decision.
I believe in evidence over opinions, collaboration over competition, and most importantly, that technology should give healthcare professionals their humanity back: the time and tools to treat patients as people, not cases.
My Approach to AI in Healthcare
AI excels at pattern recognition, freeing humans for judgment and creativity. This understanding shapes how I approach AI implementation in healthcare. It's not about replacing clinical expertise; it's about amplifying it, giving clinicians tools that enhance their ability to heal while preserving the sacred relationship between caregiver and patient.
Healthcare needs technology that works today, not promises for tomorrow. AI has reached the reliability threshold for clinical use. I focus on building applications that meet FDA requirements, protect patient safety, and solve problems clinicians actually face in their daily practice.
Why Now? AI has crossed the trust threshold. Healthcare no longer asks “should we use AI?” but“how do we implement it safely?”My clinical background, product experience, and regulatory knowledge position me to answer that question with products that ship.
How I Work
My clinical credibility sets me apart. I spent 5+ years at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital learning healthcare operations from the frontlines - managing 15,000+ annual visits, understanding provider workflows, and experiencing the pain points firsthand. This isn't theoretical for me. I've been in the trenches, which is why I can translate clinical needs into products that actually work. Other product managers theorize about healthcare problems; I've lived them.
Leading Without Authority
I create alignment where none existed. By translating clinical needs into engineering requirements and business value, I build consensus across teams with competing priorities. Data drives my arguments. Results validate my approach.
Evidence guides every decision. For the EPIC EHR integration,I shadowed doctors for a week. I watched them click through 15 screens for one data point. That observation became the feature that saved 7-10 minutes per visit.
Building Consensus at Scale
I transform conflict into collaboration. When R&D wants perfection, sales wants speed, and regulatory wants caution, I find the path that satisfies all three. Everyone leaves feeling heard. Products ship on time.
Product leadership extends beyond shipping features. I mentor emerging product managers through Bay Area LEEDS, teaching them to navigate ambiguity and influence without authority. The next generation needs these skills to solve healthcare's hardest problems.

Lifelong Learning
I studied Microbiology, UC Berkeley for scientific grounding. I earned a M.S. Healthcare Informatics, SNHU for the technical base that shaped my early career.
I am now pursuing an MBA, University of Illinois (Healthcare Innovation, Design, and Entrepreneurship concentration, expected May 2026), sharpening leadership and strategy while staying focused on one question: how do we make healthcare clearer, faster, and more human?
Looking Ahead
I plan to build scalable AI frameworks for diagnostics that can be trusted worldwide. The future of healthcare depends on systems that augment human judgment without replacing the human connection.
I also plan to keep mentoring the next wave of product managers so more people are ready to take on complex problems with confidence and empathy.

Beyond Work
Work defines my mission, but life provides perspective. I volunteer with youth organizations, teaching the problem-solving skills that changed my trajectory. Movies offer escape and inspiration in equal measure.
Great directors transform complexity into clarity, revealing truth through story. I apply the same principle to healthcare technology. Behind every data point lives a human story. My products help clinicians read those stories and write better endings.
My family keeps me grounded: “Don't forget where you came from, and help others get where they're going.”
Giving Back
Mentorship shaped my path, so I make space for it now.
