Professional Background

I serve as the Vice President of Provider Development at IgniteData, where our mission is to transform the clinical trial data transfer process. At the heart of our efforts is Archer, a highly intelligent virtual research assistant designed to address the challenge of manual data entry from electronic health records (EHRs) to electronic data capture (EDC) systems—an essential component of clinical trials.

Archer is a sophisticated mapping engine that bridges data from source to sponsor EDCs, significantly reducing errors and accelerating the delivery of life-saving therapeutics to market. By unlocking the full potential of EHR data, Archer empowers researchers to run faster, more accurate trials, ultimately driving meaningful advancements in patient care.

This mission is deeply personal to me. My mother’s journey as a breast cancer survivor has fueled my passion for advancing healthcare solutions, especially in oncology and cancer research.

In my role, I oversee our global business development strategy on the hospital side, working with world-renowned institutions like Memorial Sloan Kettering, City of Hope, and Mayo Clinic, among others. I’m proud of the impact we’re making at IgniteData, and I’m committed to driving transformative change in clinical research and data collection.
