Hello!

Welcome to my website.

I am an Assistant Professor of Computer and Information Systems at Thomas More University with over five years of research experience in Health Informatics. My work spans healthcare information systems, data quality, healthcare analytics, and the software development life cycle. I have extensive experience analyzing large-scale healthcare datasets, including Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS) data, All-Payers Claims Data (APCD), and CMS home health quality datasets.

My research addresses critical challenges in healthcare information technology, with an emphasis on improving data quality and supporting evidence-based technology adoption by healthcare providers and caregivers. I have also contributed to software tools used by health administration stakeholders, including federal and state-level agencies.


Academic Background

I earned my Ph.D. in Information Systems from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). My academic training in Management Information Systems and my applied research experience in health IT inform my ongoing work at the intersection of data systems, quality, and healthcare outcomes.
