When I was born, my parents received a surprise anesthesiology bill. Bit by bit, they paid off the full charge. 30 years later, their daughter will be joining CMS's CCIIO as a Presidential Management Fellow to help launch the No Surprises Act. Mom and Dad, this one's for you ❤️

Working on the policy and planning for this conference is what I'm most proud of from my time at the White House. Thrilled to see action on hunger, nutrition, and health get the traction and visibility it needs!.
Tune in as I deliver remarks at the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health and discuss our goal of ending hunger and diet-related illness in America.

What an absolute honor to be in the room during today's ACA and Medicaid EO signing. Thankful to #PMF for the opportunity to go on rotation at the White House and looking forward to hopefully working on this policy when I'm back at HHS! #familyglitch

And patiently waiting as I ran around a local DC bookstore shouting about food and collecting a too-tall pile of cookbooks

Ok this might be my favorite thing I've ever made. Blackberry and lemon custard tart in an earl grey crust. Vegan and nut-free! 🌱😍

Exhausted, but so so proud. Thankful to be part of the incredible team that is helping make this new set of consumer rights and protections reality.
Get ready to say goodbye to (most) surprise medical bills. A law banning them goes into effect on Saturday.
