What are you passionate about at work?
I’m passionate about improving the patient experience and helping healthcare organizations design programs that truly support patients throughout their treatment journey. I enjoy bringing structure to complex challenges, connecting cross-functional teams, and finding practical solutions that make processes more efficient while still keeping patients at the center of the conversation.
I also enjoy mentoring newer team members and creating collaborative environments where people can learn from each other.
A Personal Snapshot
Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, spending time with family and friends, and hands-on creative hobbies like cooking, painting, and DIY projects. Recently, I started a small hobby of refinishing second-hand furniture and giving old pieces a new life. I’ve also been teaching myself watercolor painting in my free time.
Fun fact: I originally grew up in Chengdu, China, which also happens to be the hometown of giant pandas, before moving to Idaho for high school in Idaho, and later completed both my undergraduate and MBA degrees at Indiana University.
