What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead end-to-end project plans for concurrent, multi-step implementations, keeping teams aligned on scope, timelines, and status while improving project processes and delivering on scope and on time.

At Alkami Technology, I led end-to-end implementations of online and mobile banking for financial institution clients. I developed a client training and testing process that reduced UAT defects and platform inaccuracies by 30%, accelerating go-live readiness; the client training process was later adopted by the new corporate client training team.

At Magellan Health, I led cost-of-care and data analytics initiatives, coordinating workgroups across underwriting, medical economics, analytics, and IT. I built and maintained program-level RAID, dependencies, and executive reporting, and partnered with VP-level stakeholders to translate priorities into milestones and measurable outcomes.

At Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas (HCSC), I co-established an implementation unit to address new ACA requirements for Summary of Benefits and Coverage generation and distribution across regulated markets. I also directed a team of 15 direct reports and implemented Individual & Small Group Exchange plans and ancillary products.

Through Diversely Bookish, the pop-up bookstore I co-founded, I curate an inventory dedicated to diverse voices and stories. I built and manage its business operations, including inventory sourcing, vendor and author relationships, budgeting, and point-of-sale management.
