Young Innovator in Behavioral Health Awardee

During my high school years, our community faced a series of tragic teen suicides. Supporting loved ones through this difficult period profoundly influenced my commitment to digital behavioral health innovation. Witnessing the transformative power of evidence-based, community-centered care on individuals in distress has been a powerful inspiration, driving me to create solutions that provide support and hope during difficult times.

Enhance culturally-competent care by providing comprehensive training for all behavioral health professionals and integrating user-informed design principles into product development to better meet the needs of vulnerable populations.

My superpower is the ability to bridge the gap between data-driven insights and the voices of our patients. By harmonizing quantitative data with qualitative feedback, I am able to craft solutions that are not only tailored but also deeply empathetic and effective.
