Provider for the hospital-based outpatient community mental health clinic.

As an Associate Director in Informatics at a state-wide healthcare enterprise, I spend much of my time focused on improving clinician experience and efficiency - either through strategy development and implementation or the times I get to work with stakeholders directly to design and build the tools they need as a Physician Builder in Epic. As part of supporting the BHN institute, I have the opportunity to provide direct peer support and coaching, which often shapes new ideas for training approaches.
