I started my career as a social worker over 20 years ago and have since worked in India, New York, Chicago and Cincinnati, and since 2016 in California. My experience has included direct medical case management; psychiatric counseling for individuals, couples, families; group work with obese adolescent patients, mental health patients; adherence coaching; adherence research; motivational interviewing; quality improvement projects; self-management initiative for adolescents with poorly controlled asthma and learning tools of design thinking and innovation.
