Summary

• As a Psychiatry resident, I am deeply committed to understanding and improving the mental health of my patients. Each day in the clinic provides invaluable insights into the complexities of mental health care, fueling my passion for advancing the field.
  
  Alongside my clinical duties, I am the co-founder of a health information tech start-up dedicated to enhancing healthcare delivery through technology and focusing on developing solutions that streamline clinical workflows and improve patient outcomes. Our goal is to bridge the gap between technology and patient care, ensuring that innovations are not only about technical advancements but also about tangible benefits to patient health and provider efficiency.
  
  Balancing the demands of a rigorous residency program with the entrepreneurial challenges of a health tech start-up is no small feat. However, it offers a unique perspective on the immediate needs of healthcare professionals and the transformative potential of technology in healthcare. This dual role enriches my understanding of both patient care and the health technology landscape, allowing me to contribute meaningfully to the evolution of both.
  
  I am driven by the belief that technology can and should serve to enhance our ability to care for patients. Whether I am in the hospital or brainstorming after hours, my mission remains the same: to improve the accessibility and quality of mental health care for all.
