Message

At ANN & ROBERT H. LURIE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF CHICAGO, I managed data and analytics programs and stewarded an approximately $5M investment portfolio. I led an Epic Cogito reporting transformation across 800+ reports, retiring 250+, consolidating 200+ into Power BI, and rebuilding 350+ on Cogito SQL.

I championed enterprise adoption of Alation, Snowflake, and ThoughtSpot, helping onboard 250+ users and catalog more than 1,000 data assets. I also launched a Microsoft Fabric integration that automated bed-capacity reporting every 15 minutes.

As Product Manager and Organization Administrator for the enterprise Atlassian platform, I owned its roadmap and governance for more than 300 users. I designed and deployed two Jira AI security agents that save about four hours of manual administration each week.

Earlier, at SEOCLARITY, I built SQL/ETL pipelines and analytics dashboards that reduced analysis lead time by about 12%. My experience also includes data engineering, software engineering, and economic and business intelligence research.
