I moved from Newark, NJ at 17 to study at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy in Boston and Hult International Business School in Cambridge. I am currently a Venture Fellow at the Harvard Health Systems Innovation Lab, and I was part of the MIT Sloan HST Fellowship focused on healthcare ventures, where I refined the research that led to this company.
My passion has always been in diagnosing problems, executing strategy, and gathering talented people around a shared mission.
As a published pharmaceutical analyst, I co-authored work with Harvard and Mass General scientists, showing how cross-disciplinary collaboration can outperform siloed approaches. Our findings informed health-system guidelines and highlighted the value of sharing data across specialties.
A short stint behind the counter revealed shrinking reimbursements, ballooning workloads, and widening tech gaps; COVID-19 tore those seams wider still. Standing beside patients, I saw how vital relationships, trust, and timely counseling are to chronic-disease outcomes. Yet most chronic-care innovations still overlook the neighborhood pharmacy — healthcare’s most accessible touchpoint.
Years of research and deliberative observation convinced me America needed a new care model. Today I incubate Scriptify out of MIT Sloan School of Management’s Martin Trust Center and the Harvard Innovation Labs.
