What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my strategic planning skills in a dynamic healthcare environment, focusing on innovation and operational excellence.

As a Senior Business Consultant with extensive experience in healthcare strategy, I have successfully led enterprise-wide initiatives that drive significant value and enhance operational efficiency. At Emory Healthcare, I developed a 3-year strategic roadmap for a $2.8B healthcare system, focusing on consumer wellness and preventive care expansion. My efforts in optimizing referral scheduling resulted in a 40% improvement, generating $12M in annual value.

My expertise in advanced financial modeling and data analytics has enabled me to establish robust KPI tracking frameworks, providing real-time insights into strategic initiatives. I have a proven track record of enhancing executive decision-making through the development of board-level dashboards and implementing PMO infrastructures that standardize processes across cross-functional teams. My commitment to customer-centric strategies has also led to increased patient satisfaction scores and improved operational efficiencies.

With a strong educational background in Biochemistry and Biology from Georgia State University, I am passionate about leveraging data-driven insights to foster innovation and drive strategic growth in the healthcare sector. I am eager to continue making impactful contributions in my field.
