Summary

I bring a blend of multi‑site operational experience and strategic, cross‑functional leadership that strengthens both day‑to‑day care delivery and long‑term organizational performance. My background includes supporting 10 in‑center dialysis programs and 5 home therapy programs, managing regulatory readiness, licensure, scheduling, financial accuracy, vendor operations, and quality‑focused coordination with clinical leaders. I’ve ensured smooth patient transitions, maintained compliance, and supported frontline staff through hands‑on administrative leadership and reliable operational oversight. In my marketing role, I expanded that foundation by supporting large‑scale initiatives, collaborating with clinical and operational teams, developing clear clinical education materials, and building processes that improved communication, culture, and team capability.
