Operations and program leader with 14+ years scaling health, wellness, and human performance programs in remote-first environments.
What I'm looking for
I’m an operations and program management professional with 14+ years of experience designing, coordinating, and scaling programs across wellness, health services, and consulting environments. I build cross-functional teams, structured program frameworks, and strong client and stakeholder relationships—especially in remote-first settings.
As Founder & Operations Lead at AD ASTRA STUDIOS, I designed and launched operational programs for a consulting practice serving global clients, growing the team from 0 to 15. I built delivery workflows and client onboarding systems, led hiring and training, and oversaw documentation, reporting, and compliance workflows across a distributed environment.
Earlier, I supported operational and program frameworks as an Operations & Strategy Consultant at KARIGARI, and I designed and delivered virtual wellness and human performance programs as an Independent consultant (mobility, injury prevention, functional health). With a clinical background as a Home Health Physical Therapist and Chief Physiotherapist, I bring applied depth to program design, content development, and outcome tracking—using tools like EMR systems and CRM platforms to measure results.
