Senior program and project manager driving equitable healthcare transformation and measurable outcomes.
What I'm looking for
I am a senior program and project manager with decades of experience leading transformational change in healthcare and higher education. I blend strategic planning, stakeholder engagement, and performance improvement to deliver measurable, equitable outcomes.
As a Prosci-certified change practitioner and health equity specialist, I have led systemwide implementations—such as Section 1557 compliance and language-access programs—that improved service delivery and regulatory adherence. I design and deliver training programs that increase staff adoption of policies and language services.
My QA and vendor-management work has reduced inefficiencies, improved financial controls, and produced significant quality gains (for example, a 90% improvement in Spanish translation quality and a 35% increase in vaccination rates among LEP patients). I also founded a consulting practice providing strategic planning, fundraising, and outreach for underserved communities.
I bring a bilingual, bicultural perspective (Spanish/English), experience with machine translation and AI prompts, and a track record of converting research and analysis into operational improvements that increase productivity and equity.
