Message

At UT SOUTHWESTERN MEDICAL CENTER, I analyze financial and operational performance across 10+ divisions, translating complex data into insights and recommendations for leadership.

I manage financial oversight and analysis for a $54M+ contract portfolio, evaluating spend, commitments, funding, vendor activity, and financial risk. My work also includes forecasting, scenario modeling, and budget-to-actual analysis.

At PARAGON PLASTIC SURGERY & MED SPA, I managed business operations across purchasing, vendor management, scheduling, billing, and documentation. I analyzed claims and payment activity and coordinated resolution of discrepancies.

Earlier, as an Associate Business Analyst at SMITH & DEAN VENTURES, I analyzed supply chain operations and developed reporting on purchasing, inventory, and fulfillment. I also co-founded Drew’s Blessing Bags, an annual community outreach initiative serving individuals experiencing homelessness across the Dallas–Fort Worth area.
