As I reflect on these various trends, the one that stands out with the most enduring impact is the fact that the behavioral health (including mental health) status of Americans - from elementary school students to Medicare beneficiaries - has declined since thethe pandemic. Long-lasting COVID-19 effect: From a research perspective, the data reveal that the pandemic significantly amplified or accelerated many macrotrends shaping the healthcare economy. Therefore, my efforts are focused on guiding executives to overcome the inclination to extrapolate discrete data points to the entire population during the process of gathering and interpreting insights underlying their strategies.

My research has been featured in The Wall Street Journal and JAMA, on CNN and elsewhere.Ĭareer turning point: A turning point occurred when a past direct supervisor imposed their own professional experiences and biases on my career trajectory, insisting that I couldn’t advance to a more senior position because “Ph.D.’s cannot be good executives.” Despite their explicit discouragement and simultaneous acknowledgement of my meaningful contributions to the financial growth of the organization, I chose to move on, not letting their views dictate my ambitions. Currently, I serve as the chief research officer at Trilliant Health and am on the faculty at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
I collaborate with C-suite and senior executives across the $4.3 trillion healthcare economy, which includes Fortune 500 life sciences companies, leading health systems, digital health providers and health plans. I hold a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Rice University and a doctorate degree in health services research and health policy, with a concentration in economics, from Emory University.Īs a health economist, I leverage data-driven insights to shape organization and market-specific strategies, as well as national health policy. I was raised in Toronto and Tampa, Florida, where my exposure to both the Canadian and American healthcare systems piqued my interest in care delivery.
