What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead healthcare operations teams where I can improve patient access, scheduling, staff performance, training, and service delivery through data-informed process improvement.

At the National Call Center for Homeless Veterans, I direct administrative and HR functions for call center staff, balancing scheduling, workload distribution, performance oversight, and peak-demand customer support.

Across Veterans Health Administration roles in East Orange, Columbia, St. Louis, and Washington, DC, I've led medical support teams, audited scheduling compliance, resolved service issues, and improved staffing and patient-access decisions through operational analysis.

I build reports in Power BI and Pyramid Analytics, develop training, manage performance actions, and partner with leadership and technical teams to keep healthcare operations responsive and compliant.
