Nicole Foster

I am a mission-driven public health analyst with over five years supporting federal health systems, grants management, and veterans’ healthcare services. I prioritize measurable improvements and operational excellence in complex, regulated environments.

I have overseen evaluation and compliance for large federal grants, including stewardship of a $45M program across multiple jurisdictions, ensuring on-time deliverables and driving a 15% improvement in jurisdictional data quality. I design dashboards, policy briefs, and quality improvement tools to translate data into actionable program decisions.

In clinical and contractor roles I have maintained strict HIPAA compliance, improved scheduling and claims workflows for thousands of veteran patients, and led administrative process improvements that reduced turnaround times and enhanced audit readiness. I also train staff on EMR systems and regulatory procedures to raise team performance and onboarding efficiency.

I work collaboratively across agencies and stakeholders to deliver technical assistance, site evaluations, and strategic planning that advance public health priorities. I seek to apply my program evaluation, data visualization, and grants oversight expertise to roles that value impact, compliance, and continuous improvement.
