Seasoned advisor in social and racial equity in algorithms, GenAI, in business workflows.
As a seasoned public policy professional with 27 years of experience, I have dedicated my career to addressing the affordability crisis in healthcare. With a strong background in regulatory leadership and clinical delivery, I have developed exceptional integrity, ethics, and transparency in my work. My expertise spans federal and state medical programs, managed care, and healthcare reform law, with a focus on racial, gender, and social equity in algorithms and workflow processes.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated strong judgment and effective collaboration skills, building working relationships with executive, management, and staff to achieve shared goals. I have also developed a strong ability to interact with and influence elected officials, legislative representatives, committees, and other governmental entities, as well as business, community leaders, and stakeholders.
My achievements include developing the COVax Grant Program in 30 days alongside the Governor's Office staff and sister state agencies, and leading the PPE/DME Sourcing Team, securing 29.7 million pieces of PPE for 39 counties and 2 tribes. I am committed to continuing my work in public policy, operations, and development, driving positive change and promoting equity in healthcare.
