Senior Business Analyst turning complex data into adopted decision-making insights across government and healthcare.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote, project-based opportunities where I can translate complex data into adopted decisions—leading requirements, process mapping, and BI delivery in genuinely complex environments with diverse stakeholders.

I’m a Senior Business Analyst with 30+ years of progressive analytical and delivery experience across government, healthcare, and the private sector. I translate complex data into decisions by mapping and redesigning processes, then bridging the gap between technical teams and executive stakeholders.

I’m known for building analytical frameworks that don’t just get delivered—they get adopted and used. From requirements gathering and gap analysis to SQL query writing (MS SQL Server, Snowflake) and BI development (Power BI—Microsoft Certified—plus Qlik Sense, QlikView, Tableau, and advanced Excel modelling), I focus on clear, actionable insights and stakeholder alignment across clinical, technical, financial, and executive audiences.

My recent work includes delivering reporting standards and frameworks that improved visibility and decision-making across health networks, leading service portfolio modelling, and creating practical operational solutions used daily by teams. I’m also experienced in enterprise change and governance, and I use AI-assisted tools (including Claude and Microsoft Copilot) responsibly in regulated environments. I’m available for remote contract and consulting engagements with US-based organizations, working async-first with distributed teams.
