My work sits at the intersection of health intelligence and real-world change.
I am a preventative health strategist and consultant with over 20 years of experience across clinical care, health coaching, program development, and wellness strategy. My background spans both the deeply human side of health change — behavior, motivation, physiology, identity — and the operational side of building health programs that actually work in practice.
A background built across both sides of health
Over the course of my career, I've worked in clinical environments, built and delivered coaching programs, developed wellness strategies for organizations, and spent years at the leading edge of preventative health and longevity. That breadth gives me something that is genuinely rare: the ability to understand what a great health outcome looks like for a person, and how to design the systems and services around them that make that outcome possible.
Notable work
Most recently, I co-created a longevity and healthspan program for a leading health and fitness organization — a comprehensive preventative health offering integrating blood biomarkers, DNA insights, gut health, VO₂ testing, functional movement, and lifestyle coaching.
I also helped design the Women's Health peri/menopause program for the same organization — a program specifically designed to support women navigating hormonal transitions with evidence-based guidance, individualized coaching, and integrated health tracking.
I believe health systems need to shift upstream.
Most healthcare is reactive by design. You develop symptoms, see a provider, receive treatment. That model has enormous value — but it misses the largest opportunity: the years before illness takes hold, when biology is responding to daily choices, and when intervention is still relatively easy.
My approach is fundamentally preventative. I work with individuals and organizations to act earlier — to understand what health data is telling them before it becomes a problem, and to build habits and systems that support resilience over time.
That means being evidence-informed but not dogmatic. It means understanding that behavior change is complex, and that sustainable health is not about perfection. It means designing health strategies that actually fit people's lives.

Strategic. Evidence-informed. Human.
I don't offer generic advice. I look at the whole picture — data, lifestyle, patterns, history, goals — and build strategies that are specific, realistic, and sustainable.
For organizations, that means helping you build something that is clinically credible, operationally sound, and designed to create real outcomes for the people you serve.
For individuals, it means helping you understand your health in a way that feels clear and empowering — not overwhelming.
