Every person deserves a high-quality education, a safe home, and a compassionate and capable health care team. My mission is to make that possible for as many people as possible. As a physician, I aim to create an equitable, effective, and efficient health care system delivered by a diverse workforce. As a teacher, I hope to unleash the untapped potential of those who have been underestimated. As a former nonprofit Executive Director and board chair, I have the business skills and management experience to organize individuals around a shared goal. Above all else, I am a lifelong learner, driven to work on society's most complex challenges, especially those related to education and health care.
