What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining health informatics and IT leadership where I can modernize systems, improve data-driven decision-making, mentor teams, and deliver measurable efficiency gains in public health settings.

I am a public health professional with advanced training in Health Informatics and Public Health, combining 15 years of Information Technology experience with a strong commitment to improving health services through data-driven solutions. I have led IT support, modernization, and quality-assurance initiatives across federal and local health agencies, delivering SharePoint, Teams/Exchange, single sign-on, and data modernization solutions that increased efficiency and supported program missions.

I have produced policy analyses and SQL-driven reports for senior stakeholders, managed cross-functional teams, and implemented process improvements using Agile, Lean, and SDLC approaches. I seek to apply my technical expertise, stakeholder facilitation, and program evaluation skills to advance public health technology and workforce outcomes.
