Biography

I'm a health economist with a passion for epidemiology and statistics working towards the optimization of health care expenditure to maximize societal value. I believe in the intersection of strong methodological approaches and strategic thinking for a more comprehensive assessment of the economic value of new medications.

Among my previous work are both local and global RWE and HEOR research and consulting projects in multiple therapeutic indications (i.e., asthma, severe hemophilia, prostate cancer, cardiovascular disease and inflammatory conditions).

The results of my scientific contributions to the HEOR field have been published in The World Allergy Organization Journal, Value in Health Regional Issues, Allergy, BMC Public Health, and Psoriasis Targets and Therapy.
