Welcome

I believe we can use technology and systems to improve health and healthcare outcomes. My research in medical informatics calls upon tools from health services research, statistics, data analysis, visualization, and health policy to find creative ways to use information we already have to improve the care we provide.

At home, my husband and I have three wonderful daughters who keep us busy and happy and tired.

I work  to build a strong community, both in greater Boston generally and specifically within the Jewish community. I am proud to represent my precinct at Town Meeting in my hometown of Brookline, MA.
