I’m a board-certified emergency physician and healthcare leader working at the intersection of health equity, patient experience, and population health. I currently serve as Medical Director of Health Equity and Director of Care Experience at Kaiser Permanente San Leandro, where I lead cross-functional initiatives to improve clinical quality, elevate patient experience, and embed equity into every layer of care delivery. I’m especially focused on leveraging population health strategies to close care gaps and tackle the systemic drivers of health disparities. I’ve written widely on healthcare justice — most notably in the New York Times, where my article on vaccine hesitancy sparked a regional campaign to rebuild trust and drive community engagement. I’m also a Clinical Assistant Professor and co-director of a medical student pipeline program that supports underrepresented future leaders in medicine. Whether I’m redesigning care metrics, launching community engagement campaigns, or applying process improvement methods to improve the quality of care, I’m guided by one mission: to heal people — and the systems that failed them. I’m always looking to collaborate with leaders working to innovate and drive better outcomes in healthcare.
