What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead QA/IT delivery and automation, ensure HIPAA-compliant standards, and continuously improve workflows through structured project management and measurable testing outcomes.

I’m an IT and QA Manager who leads delivery in fast-paced environments by strengthening relationships with stakeholders and clients while driving process improvements. I ensure HIPAA Compliance and adherence to technical standards and industry regulations.

I manage multiple high-impact projects using Jira and Asana to track progress, manage tasks, and streamline workflows. I also run post-project reviews to identify process improvements that enhance future delivery.

To modernize quality outcomes, I support the shift from manual to automated testing across multiple projects as part of a QA strategy transformation. I prioritize practical execution, clear timelines, and continuous learning to ensure automation delivers measurable results.

Alongside my QA leadership, I’ve managed accounts payable operations and automation efforts, building controlled payment schedules, improving vendor and payment procedures, and strengthening reconciliation workflows across ERP systems. I bring a disciplined, compliance-first approach—from invoice matching and 1099 support to automation initiatives that reduce implementation friction.
