I've been accepted to Oxford University.
Number one in the world. Ahead of MIT. Ahead of Harvard. Ahead of Stanford. Number one in Medicine. Number one in Executive MBA.
An anonymous donor has committed to matching every dollar — dollar for dollar — up to $20,000. The catch: it only unlocks if 250 people contribute. Every dollar is doubled.
Some of you watched me go through the hardest year of my life. The ambulances. The recovery. The months of silence. What you didn't know is that it inspired me and changed everything.
I'm going to Oxford for 15 months in September 2026 to research and deploy solutions that change how people are treated in healthcare. Not just by the AI systems that are increasingly deciding who gets seen, who gets treated, and who gets sent home — but by the humans in the system too. Your emergency room visit. Your insurance claim. Whether your pain is taken seriously, these decisions are shaped by decades of bias and wrong human behavior that even affected infection control. Nobody is holding anyone accountable. Black women die from pregnancy-related causes at three to four times the rate of white women. But if the system is failing them, it's failing you too.
I'm building this alongside a team that includes MIT PhDs, former CEOs, and advisors who have served at the highest levels of government and technology.
I've spent the last decade getting ready for this. Teaching doctors and healthcare professionals how to use cutting-edge technology to enhance the patient experience. Working with Dentsply Sirona, Henry Schein, and Patterson Dental across more than 20 countries.
Building clean energy and emergency response infrastructure across Africa and the United States with the federal government, and advising at MIT. Living in 14 countries across six continents. Recognized by Forbes and the United Nations for this work.
The total cost for the program is $120,000. I'm not asking for the full amount here. This campaign is one part of a larger plan that includes institutional and research funding. But this is the part that matters most to me — because this is the people who know me piece.
You don’t need to be rich!
Buy me a drink in New York — $20.
Buy me dinner and drinks — $100.
250 people unlock the full $20,000 match.
You already know who I am. You already know I'll do the work.
This is for my mom, who just became a Nurse Practitioner at 60.
