What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead end-to-end proposal work where I can turn complex requirements into compliant submissions, coordinate cross-functional experts, and improve proposal operations through reusable content, templates, and AI-assisted workflows.

At Prime Therapeutics, I lead proposal responses for national healthcare and Medicaid pursuits valued from $50K to $5M+, managing each RFP from intake through final production.

Previously at Interpreters Unlimited, I managed 20+ concurrent federal, state, and municipal RFPs annually for language access services across all 50 states. I built tracking tools, compliance matrices, templates, and content libraries that improved response efficiency and consistency.

I turn dense requirements into clear action plans, coordinate fast-moving subject-matter experts, and use AI-assisted drafting to strengthen compliance and scale proposal operations.
