I am an Associate Professor and Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner, with more than 20 years of experience spanning advanced clinical practice, intervention research, and health innovation. My work is grounded in improving women’s reproductive and sexual health, with a sustained commitment to eliminating disparities that disproportionately impact Black women and other historically marginalized communities.

As a clinician-scientist and technology strategist, I operate at the intersection of healthcare, research, and digital innovation—designing scalable, culturally responsive solutions that extend beyond traditional care models.

My expertise spans multiple domains:

Clinical Practice & Translational Care
Delivering comprehensive, evidence-based care with a holistic lens, while translating research findings into real-world clinical and community impact.

Research Leadership & Grant-Funded Innovation
Leading multidisciplinary, federally funded research programs that advance health equity through community-engaged, implementation-driven science. My work includes the development and evaluation of behavioral, clinical, and technology-enabled interventions.

Digital Health & AI-Driven Solutions
Designing and advising on mobile health (mHealth) platforms, AI-powered health coaching tools, and digital ecosystems that support prevention, behavior change, and chronic disease management. My work emphasizes low-resource adaptability, user-centered design, and data-informed personalization.

Health Technology Strategy & Product Development
Collaborating with cross-functional teams—including developers, data scientists, and public health leaders—to conceptualize, build, and scale digital health products. This includes UX design strategy, behavioral algorithm integration (e.g., stages of change, motivational interviewing frameworks), and secure data infrastructure planning.

Advisory & Global Consultancy
Providing strategic guidance to academic institutions, healthcare organizations, nonprofits, and technology companies on health equity, women’s health, digital transformation, and culturally tailored intervention design across local, national, and global contexts.

Mentorship, Training & Workforce Development
Mentoring undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and early-stage investigators, while developing next-generation leaders in nursing, research, and digital health innovation.

Health Communication & Community Engagement
Specializing in culturally grounded health communication, qualitative methodologies, and community-based participatory research approaches that ensure interventions are relevant, trusted, and effective.

As a Nurse AI Expert and consultant, I bring a forward-thinking, systems-level perspective to healthcare transformation—leveraging emerging technologies to expand access, strengthen engagement, and improve outcomes for the communities most often left behind.
