I am a clinical pathologist with a focus on informatics and laboratory management. I seek to improve healthcare through quality improvement projects, primarily in the clinical laboratory environment, to reduce waste and costs, improve turn around times for patient results, and maintain test accuracy and precision. I am likewise interested in applications for new technologies, such as artificial intelligence, to improve these processes and empower my colleagues and co-workers. I am interested in providing responsible healthcare and avoiding "financial harm" to patients through unnecessary testing.

URMC partners with Press Ganey, to survey our patients about all aspects of their care experience.
