Building Resilient Healthcare Leaders
I help organizations and their teams flourish under uncertainty through keynote speaking, strategic consulting, and my new program for healthcare professionals, FutureMHA.


From Patient to Innovator
My work began in profound uncertainty. Bedridden by illness, my room became a lab for resilience. This 360-degree journey—from patient to frontline medic to policy maker—gave me a unique perspective on the systems that shape our lives and work.
Today, as an author, speaker, and consultant, I share a practical blueprint for resilience and innovation. This work has culminated in my latest project, FutureMHA, an education platform to equip the next generation of healthcare leaders with the tools to not just survive, but lead the future of medicine.

I offer a focused suite of services designed to deliver tangible skills and lasting impact.
