Exploring how prevention, infrastructure, and technology can scale human wellbeing — across borders.

I work at the intersection of human systems — health, infrastructure, technology, and global cooperation — with a focus on how societies scale wellbeing sustainably.My perspective is shaped by more than three decades of lived and professional experience across borders and systems. For more than 15 years, I was involved in global trade and international ventures, living and traveling extensively abroad. During that time, I experienced healthcare systems from the inside — including receiving a cancer diagnosis while living overseas — which profoundly shaped how I think about access, quality, and resilience in care delivery. I also serve on the board of a nonprofit dedicated to citizen diplomacy and international collaboration on issues that affect people everywhere.From 2009 to 2025, I served in leadership roles at UnitedHealth Group, where I worked across complex clinical, administrative, and regulatory environments at national scale, most recently in regulatory affairs. During that time, I was closely involved in addressing some of the most challenging structural drivers of the U.S. healthcare system and led initiatives to support the responsible use of emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, within regulatory teams.Earlier in my career, I also served as a firefighter and emergency medical responder in suburban Minneapolis, providing frontline care during critical medical emergencies — experiences that grounded my understanding of healthcare in its most human moments.I hold an MBA and Master of International Management from Arizona State University and Thunderbird, supplemented by graduate-level healthcare management coursework, and previously completed an MBA internship at Merck. Today, I’m focused on how public-health fundamentals, infrastructure (water, food, energy), and emerging technologies can be combined — across regions and cultures — to support healthier, more prosperous societies.
