What I'm looking for

I seek senior clinical operations roles where I can lead program growth, improve quality and access, integrate digital care, and mentor clinical teams in an equity-focused, data-driven organization.

I am a DNP-prepared clinician and healthcare operations executive with 10+ years leading clinical programs across academic medical centers, multispecialty outpatient clinics, hospital medicine, population health, and digital care. I have directed multi-million-dollar clinical operations, led telehealth integration, and used data-driven approaches to improve access, safety, and efficiency.

I have a proven record in strategic planning, process redesign, regulatory compliance, and team development, delivering measurable results such as an 80% reduction in no-shows and a 25% reduction in infusion-related errors. I am committed to equity, evidence-based practice, and building high-performing teams to scale impactful clinical programs.
