bio: "I am a healthcare business development professional with over 10 years of experience\
  \ across healthcare, care navigation, behavioral health, telemedicine services,\
  \ product development, operations, and hiring support.  \n  \nMy experience includes\
  \ co-founding MatrixMD, a healthcare company that developed tablet-based patient\
  \ check-in and intake solutions for clinics. I later moved more fully into healthcare,\
  \ working across care coordination, behavioral health services, operations management,\
  \ telemedicine service development, and hiring support.  \n  \nI am especially passionate\
  \ about the responsible use of AI in healthcare, particularly around transparency,\
  \ patient trust, and clear disclosure when AI-enabled tools are used in patient\
  \ care. I believe AI can improve access, efficiency, and care navigation when implemented\
  \ thoughtfully and ethically.  \n  \nAt Innolitics, I support business development\
  \ and hiring efforts. I am drawn to Innolitics' mission of accelerating progress\
  \ in the medical device industry while keeping patient health at the center of the\
  \ work."

summary: 'I launched Innolitics\'' first two Business Wire press releases in one week

  I have run our marketing: the AI/ML device recap newsletter, Google Ads campaigns,
