What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my expertise in health informatics and project management to drive impactful digital health solutions, while fostering collaboration and innovation within a supportive team environment.

As a Technical Program Manager and Health Informatics Specialist with over 15 years of experience, I have dedicated my career to enhancing health information systems and digital health solutions. My expertise lies in project management, software development, and data management, where I have successfully led cross-functional teams and managed multi-million-dollar budgets.

Throughout my career, I have implemented health information standards and architectures, such as OpenHIE and HL7, and have crafted sustainable digital health solutions that align with the needs of partner governments. My work at PATH and the Clinton Health Access Initiative has allowed me to drive transformative support for health information utilization, cultivate a data-use culture among stakeholders, and improve data availability and quality.

I am passionate about leveraging technology to improve health outcomes and have a proven track record of delivering impactful projects. I thrive in collaborative environments and am committed to fostering strong partnerships to achieve shared goals in health informatics.
