What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead clinical systems implementation and optimization, bridge clinicians and IT, drive workflow improvements, and deliver training in a safety-focused, collaborative environment.

I am a clinical informatics–focused speech-language pathologist with over 10 years supporting complex workflows across acute care, inpatient rehabilitation, and ambulatory transitions. I combine deep clinical expertise with system implementation, workflow design, testing, and post-implementation optimization.

I have led go-lives, training programs, and production support efforts—serving as a bridge between clinicians, IT, and operational leadership to ensure safe, scalable system performance. My work includes EpicCare ambulatory–aligned application analysis, clinical decision support initiatives, and interdisciplinary stakeholder engagement.

I am bilingual in English and Spanish and have a strong record of reducing workflow gaps, improving documentation standards, and supporting patient-safety-focused initiatives through requirements gathering, configuration support, and end-user training.
