Areas of Expertise
I joined Healogix in 2026 with nearly 10 years of experience in market research, specializing in qualitative research and strategic insights. My career has spanned healthcare, pharmaceutical, technology, and public policy, giving me a broad perspective on how people make decisions and how research can help organizations navigate complex questions. For the latter half of my career, I have increasingly focused on healthcare and pharmaceutical research, building deep experience partnering with patients, HCPs, and healthcare organizations to translate human perspectives into actionable business and brand strategies.

What I Love About Our Industry
What I love most about our industry is that every project brings a new challenge and an opportunity to learn something new. I also love that research gives patients, HCPs, and consumers a voice that clients can truly hear. In healthcare and pharmaceuticals especially, it is incredibly rewarding to see those perspectives translate into better business and brand decisions, better products and experiences, all ultimately culminating in better outcomes for patients.
An Interesting Fun Fact About Me
I love traveling and exploring new places through their food, culture, and contemporary art. I am also an ultramarathoner, so when I’m not working, there’s a good chance I’m out training for a long-distance race listening to a new pop album! I’m also currently learning Portuguese and working toward becoming fully comfortable moderating in the language.
