What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a healthcare operations or project management role where I can improve workflows, strengthen compliance readiness, coordinate cross-functional stakeholders, and support high-quality patient care or medical education programs.

I've coordinated graduate medical education operations at HCA Fort Walton-Destin Hospital and Summerville Medical Center, supporting resident, fellow, and trainee programs through scheduling, onboarding, reporting, and regulatory deadlines.

At HCA Fort Walton-Destin Hospital, I built a medical student onboarding workflow in Clinician Nexus that onboarded 30 students and developed tracking tools and standardized processes to strengthen compliance and communication. I also supported accreditation readiness for a Surgical Critical Care fellowship and Internal Medicine residency.

Previously, I led workflow improvements in community health that contributed approximately $1.7 million in program revenue and reduced departmental costs by 15%. I bring healthcare operations, process improvement, stakeholder coordination, and data tracking experience across hospital, public health, and military environments.
