Prior to joining Ashoka, I worked in the Department of Neurology at Johns Hopkins University where I helped develop a clinical center of excellence in a rare disease of the nervous system and conducted clinical translational research. I co-founded and led as Executive Director, an initiative called Project RESTORE at Hopkins, to expand institutional research and patient care out into the community and be a vehicle of change to transform the way diseases are traditionally studied. I am a member of the Board of Ambassadors of Project RESTORE. I have a Masters in Health Systems Management from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
