What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my extensive healthcare IT experience to lead impactful projects, foster team collaboration, and drive innovation in healthcare solutions.

I am a Senior Project Leader with over 33 years of experience in healthcare IT, specializing in the planning and implementation of Cerner solutions across multiple facilities in the United States and Canada. My career has been marked by a results-driven approach, leading over 25 successful Cerner implementations, including critical systems such as Pharmacy, Radiology, and Lab solutions. My extensive background equips me with the leadership and decision-making skills necessary to drive projects to successful completion.

Throughout my career, I have held various senior project management roles, including my recent position as a Cerner Consultant at Netvision Resources Inc., where I provided training and support for military healthcare facilities. My previous experience at Christus Health involved managing multiple simultaneous projects while mentoring junior project managers and collaborating with C-suite executives. I am passionate about enhancing healthcare IT processes and improving patient outcomes through effective project management and team collaboration.
