What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead high-priority, cross-functional programs where I can build execution frameworks, improve operational clarity, and deliver measurable business outcomes through KPI-driven process improvement and stakeholder alignment.

I’m a high-capacity program and operations leader with 15+ years of experience driving complex, cross-functional initiatives from strategy through execution across healthcare, retail, and technology. I turn ambiguity into structured action by building workplans, managing dependencies, and driving execution across multiple stakeholders. I’m known for improving operational clarity, accelerating delivery timelines, and implementing systems, cadences, and tools that keep high-priority initiatives on track.

Currently, I oversee operations for six clinics as a District Manager, leading 18 direct and 80 indirect reports to drive operational excellence, financial performance, and exceptional patient care. Previously, I served as a Clinic Director focused on patient flow, compliance, and KPI-driven quality improvement, and as an Amazon Program Manager delivering measurable outcomes like reducing seller escalations by 15% and driving 5% sales growth with 10% shrink reduction. I bring an operator mindset grounded in execution rigor, problem-solving, and measurable business results.
