What I'm looking for

I seek a data-focused public health or healthcare role where I can apply analytics and operational improvements, collaborate cross-functionally, and drive measurable impact.

I am an MBA candidate with a strong public health analytics background who turns complex datasets into actionable recommendations that improve operations and revenue.

At Guadalupe Valley Neurology I led cost-benefit analysis and revenue-accounting improvements that contributed to a $200K savings and processed 50+ patient claims daily while optimizing payment workflows.

As an epidemiologist for the San Antonio Metropolitan Health Department, I managed NEDSS for COVID-19 surveillance, led hospital data analysis projects, and built Power BI dashboards to surface trends for public reporting and executive decision-making.

I have designed databases and surveys for community health initiatives, supported CRM migrations and financial operations during an internship, and hold certifications including HIPAA and CITI Basic — all underscoring my commitment to data-driven public health and operational excellence.
