What I'm looking for

I seek a role leading GovTech or public-sector SaaS programs where I can drive compliant grant distribution, manage global teams, and apply data-driven policy analysis to maximize impact and preserve recipient benefits.

I am a results-driven Program Manager with deep experience in GovTech SaaS platforms for government grant distribution, including CDBG, ARPA, and IRA energy programs. I translate complex federal and state regulations and healthcare policies (Medicaid 1115 Waivers) into actionable software requirements and lead cross-functional, globally distributed teams to deliver compliant, impactful solutions.

I have driven program strategy that increased grant awards, designed compliance frameworks with zero audit findings, and delivered high-performing SaaS grant management projects on time and within budget. My background in spatial analysis (ArcGIS), eligibility logic design, and stakeholder engagement enables me to build secure, user-centered systems that maximize funding efficiency and preserve recipient benefits.
