Katherine Ager
@katherineager
I coordinate healthcare operations, budgets, and scientific communications for complex cross-functional programs.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I've directed healthcare program operations across three clinical sites in Uganda, coordinating workplans, stakeholder updates, budgets, and scientific deliverables.
At Empower Through Health, I managed a $280K operating budget, reduced costs by 14%, and led development of an electronic medical record system used across two sites.
At the Human Rights Foundation, I built project trackers for 150+ conference sessions, managed credentialing records for 950+ attendees, and kept four concurrent workstreams aligned through recurring status meetings and action tracking.
My experience also includes leading high-volume SNAP/EBT client support at UCLA and securing $250,000+ in funding commitments through grant writing and donor communications. I'm seeking to bring disciplined project execution and health-policy fluency to healthcare communications clients.
