I’m a naturopathic physician, acupuncturist, and medical educator with 23-years of experience teaching and practicing integrative primary care family medicine. Currently, I’m transitioning into a career focused on data science and software engineering with a desire to apply these skills in the healthcare field in order to improve health outcomes. My training to date has been in full-stack web development (primarily using the MERN stack), data analysis and visualization, machine learning, and database management using both relational and non-relational databases.
