My work sits at the intersection of health and medicine, systems, and real people’s lives. I’m interested in how research, care, and education actually function in practice, not just in theory, and in how we build structures that work for the people inside them. Teaching and mentorship are part of that work, not something separate from it.
What I Study
Clinical research in practice
How studies are designed, governed, and carried out in real clinical environments, and where good ideas meet the friction of daily care.
Systems of care
The infrastructures that shape patient experience and outcomes, often invisibly, and how small changes can make them clearer and more workable.
Education and mentorship
How clinicians, researchers, and students learn to think clearly, ask better questions, and do good work without unnecessary complexity.
Doing less, better
How simplifying processes, removing noise, and working smarter (not harder) can make research and care more effective and more sustainable.
My Research
Peer-reviewed articles and formal publications from my work in clinical research and outcomes science. The real grown-up stuff.
Resources
Papers, books, and references I use in my work. Mostly scientific. Mostly practical. All of it helpful when I’m trying to understand a problem or do the job better.
Tools
Templates, checklists, and frameworks I’ve built because I kept needing them. They’re meant to reduce friction, clarify thinking, and make the work easier to do well. Use them, change them, ignore them…whatever helps you get unstuck and move forward.
