In her senior role with the company, she is a key part of continually forwarding SimplePractice’s mission to empower healthcare and wellness providers, and in turn empower their clients and communities.

A fierce proponent of expanding resources as widely as possible, she has experience creating opportunity and security for vulnerable populations, including through her work with the Armenian Lighthouse Charitable Foundation, which opened the first domestic violence center on the outskirts of the capital city of Yerevan in Armenia. She was a board member at the Foundation for over 10 years.
