What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead healthcare operations, accreditation readiness, regulatory compliance, and performance improvement initiatives where I can deliver measurable quality, safety, financial, and workflow outcomes.

I lead healthcare accreditation, regulatory compliance, and operational performance improvement across acute, ambulatory, and post-acute care. At Kohler HealthCare Consulting, I direct readiness assessments for ambulatory surgery centers and build workflows and credentialing infrastructure aligned with licensure and accreditation requirements.

At MedStar Health, I led system-wide improvement work that saved more than 10,000 annual throughput hours through ED patient-flow redesign, reduced net denials by 5% annually, and identified a $371,000 annual revenue opportunity through discharge medication management.

I've delivered operational change across emergency care, nursing, revenue cycle, and transportation services. My work includes reducing potentially preventable conditions by 45%, cutting onboarding turnaround by 11 days through AVIA, improving stroke door-to-needle time by 25%, and reducing nursing turnover by 20%.

I bring a clinical nursing foundation, Lean Six Sigma Black Belt methodology, and healthcare management experience to help organizations sustain safer, more efficient care. I also serve as an AAAHC Surveyor, Stroke Program Consultant, and President-Elect of the Maryland Association for Healthcare Quality.
