I am an independent scholar currently employed as the Senior Analyst for the Medicare D-SNP program for the City and County of San Francisco (California).
My academic training is in several fields:

I am an independent scholar currently employed as the Senior Analyst for the Medicare D-SNP program for the City and County of San Francisco (California).
My academic training is in several fields:
• Visual anthropology. Graduate thesis focus was a study of the 19th century visual translations (portraiture) of the Sanskrit text - Devi Bhagavata Purana - by the indigenous employees of the East India Company, with particular emphasis on Bengali visual culture.
• Qualitative Research. Doctoral training in Husserlian phenomenological theory/methods and its practical application in the private/public health insurance field.
My current research focus is:
• Deep reading various works of Edmund Husserl and extracting the practical application of Husserl’s model of phenomenology.
• The role of the rhetorical devices of synecdoche/metonymy in creating unintentional semiotic drift in public health policy.
• The practicality of using Husserlian investigative methods to study the relationship between the School of Suspicion narratives, classical/contemporary Critical Theory narratives, and the emergence of the Diversity, Equity, Inclusivity (DEI) narratives circulating in public institutions.
My papers to date are proprietary, given the amount of personal health information (PHI) embedded in the paper, so unable to share with a broader audience at this time.
