What I'm looking for

I seek a role applying analytical rigor and operational leadership outside healthcare, with growth, cross-functional impact, and mentorship opportunities.

I am a strategic analytics professional with extensive experience leading data-driven initiatives, building financial models, and guiding executive decision-making. I combine analytical rigor with operational leadership, including team management, tool development, and stakeholder communication.

In my roles at Optumas I progressed from Analyst to Manager, validating datasets, leading analyses for State Medicaid programs, presenting results to Medicaid officials and C-suite executives, and constructing trainings and admin setups for a Medicaid repricing tool.

I actively mentor and train junior staff, participate in recruiting, and seek to apply my analytical and operational expertise to a dynamic industry outside healthcare where I can continue to drive impact and scale tools and teams.
