About

Co-Founder & CEO of Near, a platform advancing psychosocial support from diagnosis through end of life. I’ve spent two decades in healthcare strategy and communications, and this work is deeply shaped by both personal loss and professional experience. Near bridges the gap between clinical care and human experience with tools for personalized navigation, care planning, and emotional support. I believe design, storytelling, and systems thinking can transform how we care for one another - especially when it matters most.
