About
Biography
I am a trained Implementation Scientist focused on closing the research-to-practice pipeline gap for individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Using mixed methodologies, my research applies implementation science to accelerate the adoption, reach, implementation, scalability, and sustained use evidence-based interventions in real world practice settings. I enjoy team-science approaches to answering system-level questions to improve the quality and effectiveness of care for individuals living with TBI.
