What I'm looking for

I seek a senior IT or business-analytics role in healthcare where I can lead implementations, improve processes, and partner with stakeholders to deliver measurable outcomes.

I am an experienced IT manager and senior business analyst with deep expertise in healthcare systems, procurement platforms, and full-cycle implementations. I maintain composure under pressure and excel at translating complex business needs into clear technical requirements.

Throughout my career I have led production support and release management efforts, created documentation and Confluence archives, and improved cross-team communications during high-impact events such as Medicare AEP and major mergers.

I have driven measurable results including leading projects tied to substantial savings, coordinating cloud vendor integrations (Softheon), and serving as lead analyst for merger-related initiatives supporting CVS/Aetna integration.

I pursue continuous process improvement through agile practices and data-driven decision making, and I bring strong skills in systems analysis, reporting, and stakeholder leadership to deliver reliable, scalable solutions.
