What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead finance and operations with a focus on measurable results—strategic planning, FAR-compliant contract execution, and continuous improvement. I want an employee-oriented culture where I can develop teams and streamline mission-critical processes.

I’m an Army Medical Service Corps officer and healthcare finance executive with 21+ years of strategic and operational leadership. I specialize in turning complex goals into execution—driving Strategic and Operational Planning, leadership, human resources management, recruiting operations, intelligence/security operations, staff development, and financial management.

I’ve led enterprise financial and contract outcomes as Chief Financial Officer, optimizing budgets and improving accountability across FAR-based programs. In recent roles, I rebuilt service line performance, deployed a billing system to speed revenue before discharge, and improved contract readiness—while also building recruiting programs from scratch and scaling execution with measurable efficiency gains.
