Seasoned CEO and public health strategist with deep roots in nonprofit healthcare leadership. Grounded in purpose and driven by outcomes, I build scalable systems and values-centered cultures that deliver measurable, lasting impact.

With expertise in organizational restructuring, asset growth, strategic planning, and policy advocacy, I bring clarity, structure, and strength to every table I join. I lead with integrity, navigate complexity with confidence, and relentlessly advocate for sustainable, people-first solutions.

Throughout my career, I’ve cultivated high-impact partnerships at the local, state, and national levels—guiding organizations through transformative change while staying anchored in trust and mission. Whether I’m leading clinical teams, scaling public health programs, or rebranding entire systems, I approach each challenge with operational precision, strategic vision, and an unwavering commitment to serve.
