What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a leadership role in mission-driven healthcare where I can scale whole-person, Direct Primary Care models, lead cross-functional community health programs, and strengthen partnerships that improve access and outcomes.

I’m a Public Health PhD graduate and educator with a foundation in physical therapy and school administration. In my roles, I focus on whole-person care—integrating physical, mental, and spiritual well-being—while building systems that support both academic and community outcomes.

As Executive Director of Adventist Whole Health Network, I provide strategic and operational leadership for a faith-based nonprofit and launched a Direct Primary Care clinic in the Philadelphia area. I also lead cross-functional community health initiatives, manage budgeting and fundraising, and partner with healthcare providers, faith-based organizations, and public health stakeholders to expand affordable, relationship-based care.
