Hello, I’M Alex!

Welcome to my page! I’m a passionate, creative problem-solver who specializes in leading cross-functional teams, experience design initiatives, workshop facilitation, curriculum development and being the voice of consumers for executive audiences.

I believe that access to quality, affordable, and dignified health care is a fundamental human right. This however, is not a reality for many individuals in the United States. I am on a relentless pursuit to use the power of design to improve consumer experiences and to ensure marginalized patients can one day achieve equitable health outcomes.

“You cannot design for a population without them.”

Michael Curry - President of the Mass League of Community Health Center
