What I'm looking for

I'm looking to promote community wellness through public health programs, outbreak response, health program analysis, and people-oriented services that support continuous improvement.

I led outbreak investigations for the Fairfax County Health Department, managing a team of 5–8 direct reports and the lifecycle of more than 500 cases.

I updated pandemic control plans, guided complex isolation and compliance issues, and supported Epidemiology Branch leaders with accurate communication and decision-making during the COVID-19 response.

As a Lead Case Interviewer, I trained new interviewers, conducted quality assurance reviews, and helped patients understand COVID-19 prevention, control, and isolation protocols.

My healthcare background also includes supervising medical assistants at Capital Podiatry Associates and supporting high-volume clinical operations, patient care, scheduling, insurance verification, and quality improvement.
