Young Innovator in Behavioral Health Awardee

My inspiration is my father, who has always pushed me to dedicate my life in public service toward solving complex problems that uplift humanity more broadly. He is my thought partner, role model, friend, and mentor.

I would like to see more coordinated, urgent efforts across providers, payers, and policymakers to prioritize behavioral health as a key component of preventative and population medicine, rather than relegating it as a neglected area of healthcare.

My superpower is seeking first to understand before being understood!
