Grants and program management professional delivering compliant portfolios, accurate reporting, and efficient execution across healthcare.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Project & Grants Management professional with 3+ years of experience delivering end-to-end program execution across healthcare and nonprofit sectors. I bring proven expertise in grant administration, project coordination, and stakeholder management to support multi-million-dollar initiatives.
At the American Heart Association, I managed $30K–$400K grant portfolios, reviewing contracts and subawards to ensure compliance with funding policies—improving approval accuracy by 25% and reducing processing delays. I led annual grant report oversight, delivering 100% audit-ready submissions, and evaluated change requests to maintain on-time delivery compliance above 95% while minimizing project delays.
I optimize workflows and strengthen operational visibility through reconciliation, financial analysis, and clear communication. From contract-level program management to facilities project coordination, I consistently improve reporting efficiency by 20%, reduce cost variances by 15%, and maintain data integrity through disciplined documentation and stakeholder engagement.
