The Why, The Mission
My understanding of healthcare began early, watching how policy and reimbursement frameworks shaped the care patients could receive. My father was a psychiatrist serving indigent mental health patients, and through him, I witnessed the impossible balance of mental health services within the limits of Medicaid.
In college, I worked overnight shifts in Emory’s emergency room, where I triaged patients and witnessed frontline providers doing extraordinary work under relentless pressure. Later, as a research specialist at Emory School of Medicine and Grady Hospital, I focused on Alzheimer’s disease. That role exposed me to the devastating impact of untimely treatment on patients and the generational effects of delayed diagnoses.
By the time I entered law school, healthcare was undergoing historic change. The Affordable Care Act had just passed, and value-based care, electronic medical records, and system consolidation were transforming the industry. I became a health lawyer at the center of this shift, advising health systems and providers through growth, integration, and regulatory complexity. Over time, my perspective has remained both professional and personal, shaped by my own experiences as a patient and family member.
