What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a mission-driven role where I can lead compliance, EHR/data privacy, and back-office operations—partnering with boards and teams to strengthen programs, manage budgets, and drive measurable growth.

I’m a compliance-focused executive administrator who’s built mission-critical operations across healthcare and nonprofit environments. I’ve tracked AZDHS compliance requirements, updated policies and procedures, and maintained accurate compliance documentation—while also serving as a Senior EHR Administrator focused on data integrity and data privacy. I’ve led HR operations (onboarding, orientation, time tracking, benefits administration, offboarding, and employee files), managed business-to-business billing, and coordinated critical vendor/contractor relationships.

Across leadership roles, I bring a practical, coaching-first approach to capacity building and organizational growth. As a Founder and Principal, I provided training, consulting, and strategic planning support to nonprofit leaders, staff, and boards. As Program Director, I supported 20+ nonprofit executives, monitored a $1.4 million budget, managed 15+ vendors and contracts, and served as contract manager for grants; earlier, I led a Speakers Bureau Program Director team and helped increase fee-for-service income by 15% and 12% across two subsequent years.
