What I'm looking for

I seek senior healthcare project roles where I can lead cross-functional teams, drive process improvement, and deliver measurable cost savings while fostering change adoption and data-driven governance.

I am a PMP-certified project manager with extensive healthcare operations and quality improvement experience, skilled at translating strategy into measurable outcomes. I've led multi-site initiatives—implementing telehealth, integrating clinical systems, and building predictive KPI dashboards—that reduced patient falls, saved nearly $2M, and improved workflows for thousands of clinicians.

I unify cross-functional teams and executive stakeholders to deliver program governance, risk mitigation, and sustainable change adoption. My strengths include Lean Six Sigma methodologies, data-driven decision making, and deploying tools like CloudCoach, MS Project, Smartsheet, and Epic to enhance visibility, accountability, and performance.
