Clinical research student and media coordinator in the Department of Neurological Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh. I graduated from Pitt.
My work sits at the intersection of spine outcomes, surgical innovation, and care delivery in complex patient populations. I have a soft spot for the parts of medicine that involve actually talking to patients and helping them make sense of their options.
I'm especially interested in how data science and emerging technologies can quietly improve clinical research infrastructure, medical education, and patient-centered care. Pittsburgh native.
