What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles leading clinical education and care management where I can apply data-driven training, AI analytics, and cross-functional collaboration to improve quality, compliance, and patient outcomes.

I am a mission-driven clinical education and care management leader with 15+ years designing enterprise-wide training programs, mentoring interdisciplinary teams, and improving outcomes across Medicare and Medicaid populations. I combine clinical nursing expertise, advanced degrees (MSN, MBA), and certifications to build standardized curricula, reduce documentation errors, and elevate performance through data and AI-supported analytics.

I have led initiatives that improved appeal overturn rates by 22%, member satisfaction by 18%, and documentation accuracy by 15%, while implementing NCQA-aligned audit frameworks and compliance-ready training across multi-site settings. I collaborate cross-functionally with analytics, IT, compliance, and operations to align learning strategy with organizational KPIs and continuous improvement.
