I am a researcher with over 10 years of experience in either clinical research or patient centered research consultancy. I have my MPH from Boston University with a dual concentration in biostatistics and social and behavioral sciences. I am focused on using innovative methodology to understand the patient experience and data to center the patient in all health decisions and ultimately improve outcomes for patients, particularly vulnerable and rare disease populations. REGULATORY AND THERAPEUTIC DISEASE AREA EXPERIENCE: Patient-focused drug development recommendations in alignment with guidance from FDA in oncology (solid tumors and blood cancer), autoimmune conditions (e.g., lupus, type 1 diabetes), parkinsonian syndromes, blood disorders (e.g., hemophilia), and degenerative conditions of muscles and/or nerves.
