About Kelli

I moved from the clinical realm into product work at AbleTo, where I started as a clinical content producer and eventually held clinical product responsibility for our entire product suite, which included a self-care app, coaching program, therapy program, and blended therapy and coaching. I now work at Geisinger Health System, where I support the inpatient technology portfolio.

The Social Work Lens

How social work shapes my work in technology

My social work training helps me to view our products from a systemic perspective and identify potential impacts at all points in the workflow when we make changes or updates. It also fosters my empathy for our users so that I can better understand their needs and build products that address those needs.
