What I'm looking for

I seek senior analytics roles where I can lead multidisciplinary teams, build scalable analytic infrastructures, drive predictive insights, and partner with executive stakeholders to improve outcomes and growth.

I am a strategic healthcare analytics and operations leader with 20+ years of experience delivering enterprise analytic services across Medicaid, FQHCs, academic medical centers, and population health organizations. I partner with senior executives and health plan leaders to translate strategic objectives into scalable analytic tools, predictive models, and performance solutions that drive outcomes, growth, and partner satisfaction.

I have deep experience building and mentoring multi-disciplinary analytic teams, operationalizing SQL-driven analytics, and deploying Power BI executive visualizations. My accomplishments include leading population targeting models that increased enrollments and generated meaningful cost savings, establishing governance and prioritization frameworks, and strengthening analytic capabilities across large, complex healthcare organizations.
