Value Add

I started my career as a clinician because I wanted to help people heal — and I bring that same lens to investing. I’ve led clinical strategy at scaling startups, built partnerships across payers and providers, and lived the complexity of care delivery from the inside. I back founders building what should already exist — and roll up my sleeves to help them do it.
