More about me
My interest in changing the health care system was launched when I joined ALS TDF as an intern during my undergraduate years at Boston College. I stayed on at ALSTDF (now ALS TDI) for 4 years where I was lucky enough to work with hundreds of people with ALS and their families, including Ben, Jamie and Stephen Heywood.
Anti-violence work is another passion of mine. For 7 years I spent every Sunday night answering a hotline and working overnight in a domestic violence shelter. I also spent several years as part of the Massachusetts Coalition against Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence (Jane Doe, Inc.) and working with a fabulous team on violence and sex trafficking research at Harvard.
In 2007 I completed my masters’ degree at the Harvard School of Public Health, where I focused my studies on health communication. I'm really excited to be using and expanding my health communication knowledge at PatientsLikeMe.
Outside work, I’m a big fan of the Boston Red Sox, live music, traveling, pilates, baking, and spending time with my incredibly funny and talented husband.
