What I'm looking for

I seek a mission-driven role leading research or program portfolios where I can improve processes, drive stakeholder alignment, and deliver measurable program outcomes.

I am an operationally focused project and program leader with 8+ years supporting healthcare, nonprofit, and biopharma organizations through complex, fast-moving environments. I specialize in translating complex workstreams into actionable plans, coordinating cross-functional teams, and ensuring quality, compliance, and on-time delivery across research portfolios.

I have stewarded multi-million dollar research portfolios, launched investigator and undergraduate research programs, improved proposal review and reporting consistency, and supported data sharing and publication efforts. I bring strong stakeholder engagement, SOP and process development, and measurable results—such as 90% on-time funding decisions and 95% consistency in proposal review workflows.
