What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, learning, and impactful contributions.

I am an experienced healthcare leader with over 12 years of expertise in administering healthcare operations, including project management, auditing, and strategic planning. My strong adaptability and quick learning ability have allowed me to thrive in dynamic environments, ensuring that I can effectively contribute to the success of any organization.

Currently, I serve as a Senior Program Manager at The Translational Genomics Research Institute, where I manage multiple large philanthropic programs and have successfully led the institute's first FDA IND submission. My previous roles have equipped me with a robust skill set in project management, risk mitigation, and effective negotiation strategies, enabling me to build strong relationships with stakeholders and drive project success.

I am seeking opportunities that promote further learning and career development while allowing me to apply my current skills to assist in company success. I am passionate about leveraging my experience to make a meaningful impact in the healthcare sector.
