What I'm looking for

I'm open to consulting, program management, operations leadership, and policy advisory opportunities, including remote roles and travel up to 50%. I want to translate complex regulatory requirements into practical, audit-ready programs and measurable operational outcomes.

At Innova Solutions, I advise a state government agency on federal regulatory requirements, policy analysis, and implementation recommendations for executive leadership.

I translate complex compliance requirements into practical business, policy, and technical guidance, helping operations, policy, and technology teams identify risks before delivery.

Previously, I led program eligibility and operations for a state health and human services agency for nine years. I built two statewide programs from inception and developed audit-ready policy frameworks, workflows, staffing models, and system requirements.

I also designed SQL, Excel, and Tableau reporting that improved executive decision speed by 33% and reduced pending cases by 23%, while leading managers and teams through operational transformation.
