What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own implementation end-to-end in regulated enterprise environments and ship AI-assisted automation that improves adoption. I thrive bridging stakeholders and building reliable systems with strong compliance and quality.

I’m an implementation and solutions professional with 15+ years building, configuring, and driving adoption of systems across regulated, highly governed environments. I specialize in turning source requirements into working systems—discovery, configuration, go-live, training, and post-launch support—and I’m comfortable as the technical bridge between business stakeholders and the platforms they rely on.

In 2024, I founded BlackRoot AI Automations, where I own end-to-end engagements from scoping and building through deployment, training, and post-launch support. I designed and shipped ARIA, a 24/7 AI intake agent that qualifies inbound leads, captures intake, and books appointments, and I’ve built production automation suites in GoHighLevel with two-way SMS, email sequences, AI voice agents, and CRM workflows. I also integrate third-party APIs (Claude, OpenAI, Twilio, ElevenLabs, and calendar systems) into workflows handling live customer traffic.

Before that, I supported enterprise SaaS operations at Syneos Health by operating Veeva Vault as the system of record, administering Firecrest for training-compliance, and rebuilding a master compliance tracker with validated multi-tab Excel reporting used for cross-site accuracy. Earlier, at Eli Lilly and Company, I led adoption and compliance for Veeva Vault Study Start-Up, eTMF, and Shared Investigator Platform—enabling a 400+ person global organization through training and consults. My foundation includes Clinical Database Designer work configuring EDC platforms (Medidata Rave and InForm) with edit checks and validation logic, plus leading specimen management teams with strict SOP adherence under GCP and FDA compliance.
