Brief Bio

I currently serve as Chief Operating Officer of Penn Center for Community Health Workers. Our Center has supported 18,000+ patients with high medical and social needs to achieve better health and wellbeing through partnerships with community health workers. Prior to Penn, I spent 20 years in healthcare information technology at Siemens Medical, where I held a variety of senior leadership positions. A client engagement with a large public health hospital system changed my mind about the contribution I could make in healthcare. So, I came to Penn to work on my MPH. During this time, I learned about Penn Center for Community Health Workers, which answered my call to public health. I’m thrilled to bring my journey full circle by teaching in the MPH program.
