I am a health services researcher and implementation scientist focused on improving care for substance use disorders. My work seeks to increase access to this care through telehealth and implementation outside of traditional substance use treatment settings, as well as to improve care quality and patient-centeredness. I am an investigator at VA Puget Sound Health Care System and a VA Career Development Awardee.
