What I'm looking for

I seek program-level roles leading equity-focused, data-driven initiatives that improve compliance and operations, mentor cross-functional teams, and deliver measurable community impact within collaborative, mission-driven organizations.

I am a certified program manager with extensive experience in Agile, Scrum, Kanban, and cross-functional team leadership focused on healthcare operations and community program coordination. I align project goals with organizational strategy to maximize efficiency, impact, and regulatory compliance.

I have led equity-focused initiatives and cross-functional teams to deliver measurable results—directing a 12-person team to complete a statewide equity initiative three weeks early and impacting 15,000+ residents, designing a compliance framework that increased adherence by 30%, managing $1.4B in federal rental assistance with 100% audit compliance, and developing dashboards that cut reporting time by 40%.
