What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values team culture and focuses on improving patient outcomes.

I am a veteran operations leader with over a decade of experience in people-first leadership within the patient services and regulatory compliance landscape. My ability to maintain a cool head under pressure and my practical approach to optimizing workflows have allowed me to bring structure and teamwork to various situations. Whether launching a new care location, rewriting outdated policies, or guiding teams through audits, I am dedicated to achieving better outcomes and fostering a strong team culture.

Currently, I serve as an Administrator at Peak Surgery Center of Avondale and Peak Cardiovascular Center, where I successfully launched a new cardiac surgery center by coordinating vendor installations and creating essential policies and workflows. My efforts have led to a significant reduction in operating costs and improved staff retention rates. I am passionate about audit readiness and have implemented rigorous documentation standards to ensure compliance with Joint Commission requirements.

Previously, as the Manager of the Cath and EP Lab at Abrazo Arizona Heart Hospital, I increased case volume and revenue through innovative tracking systems and improved coordination with anesthesia. My commitment to compliance and continuous improvement has resulted in a Top 5 national ranking in LAAO implantations. I am eager to bring my expertise and grounded approach to a new environment where I can contribute to achieving exceptional results.
