About Me

After receiving my Bachelor of Science in Computational Biology (& a BA in Political Science) from the University of Rochester, I began my career as a Bioinformatics Analyst at Foundation Medicine, Inc. I continue to develop my product management skillset at Sema4 Genomics, working on their suite of clinical platform products. Through my professional development, I discovered a passion for increasing access to precision medicine diagnostics and therapeutics.

In the future, I plan to tackle inequalities in healthcare by developing low-cost alternatives to comprehensive genomic testing through the implementation of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.

To say that I was impressed by Kayla’s performance would be an understatement. She is wise beyond her years, has impeccable follow-up and attention to detail and was a real team player.

But what impressed me most about Kayla was that she spoke her mind. She repeatedly found better ways for us to operate, improved several efficiencies and never assumed that the way we were doing something was necessarily the best way. Her business acumen was wildly impressive and our entire team came to rely on her.
