I am rooted in connection:
bridging cultures, communities,
and digital healthcare.
I grew up overseas (Egypt, Germany, and Holland), went to art school in Denver, and have now lived in Hawaii with my ‘ohana (family) for 10 years. Having the opportunity to live around the world has instilled a drive to connect with people of varying backgrounds.
I have practiced yoga and mindfulness for over 20 years and am an active student and practitioner.
Being involved in my community is foundational to my beliefs. From teaching 5th graders digital design to providing direct care to those in my homeless community, I seek opportunities to serve.
Above all, I believe in the power of living with a trusting, open heart and allowing human connection, kindness, and love to radiate through all – especially those suffering.
This is where digital therapeutics come in: scaling access to quality care, and using technology to bridge inequities and healthcare disparities.
