I love stories - whether it to be in books, movies, music or television shows. I believe that stories have the power to change the way people perceive the world and inspire them to extraordinary things. Stories can make people travel across the world, dream up new ideas, start campaigns, take up causes, and start global movements. They have the power to affect change. I want to be able to tell these stories - to start a conversation. I want to create. I want to inspire. Currently I work at the Department of Global Health Equity (DGHE) at Brigham and Women's Hospital. My work focuses on quality improvement and complex care management among high risk patients, and it is my personal mission to share stories on how we can best improve the health and wellness of these patients through community engagement and accompaniment.
