Dynamic healthcare leader with expertise in quality and patient safety.
What I'm looking for
I am a dynamic healthcare leader with over 10 years of clinical experience and 5 years dedicated to healthcare quality and patient safety. My journey has been driven by a commitment to improving patient outcomes through data-driven strategies and quality initiatives. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing and am currently pursuing a Doctorate in Healthcare Leadership, set to graduate in June 2026.
In my current role as a Clinical Data Manager at the American Society of Anesthesiologists, I have successfully managed clinical data registries and led quality committees to enhance patient safety. My work includes developing projects that interconnect clinical data with national registries and CMS reimbursements, which has significantly improved our quality reporting processes. I am passionate about fostering diversity and inclusion within healthcare, as demonstrated through my leadership in the Multicultural Resource Group.
Throughout my career, I have been recognized for my contributions to quality improvement initiatives, including leading sepsis programs and conducting root cause analyses. I am eager to bring my robust skill set and experience to a Director of Quality and/or Patient Safety role, where I can continue to drive positive change in healthcare.
