Clinical content specialist at IBM Watson Health
Member of Kappa Psi Pharmaceutical Fraternity
The American healthcare system is unfortunately beset with inequalities that impact people of color and other minority groups disproportionately. As a contributor with GoodRx, I strive to ensure that the healthcare system has representation, resources, and advocacy to improve our nation's access and health outcomes in underrepresented communities for a better tomorrow.
