I’m a Content & PR Manager at Doctify, representing a number of healthcare professionals who are eager to be featured in health-related media articles - alongside Doctify.

I began my journey with mathematics, drawn to the way numbers could reveal patterns, structure, and meaning. That foundation led me to pursue a master’s in data science at Johns Hopkins University, where I learned how to turn analytical thinking into practical tools for solving real-world problems. Over time, my path became more focused: I found purpose in applying data science to healthcare. Today, as a Data Scientist at Lucem Health, I work on clinical AI solutions that help healthcare organizations identify disease risk earlier and support more proactive care. My work focuses on building machine learning models and longitudinal EHR pipelines for early disease detection and risk stratification across a range of chronic and rare diseases. What drives me is the belief that healthcare AI should not only be technically strong, but also practical, trustworthy, and responsible. I work across data science, clinical context, product strategy, and responsible AI evaluation to help turn complex healthcare data into early risk signals that care teams can actually use. My story is about connecting mathematical rigor, data science, and human impact: using AI not just to predict outcomes, but to help people act sooner, make better decisions, and improve care.
