I am an emerging healthcare operations leader dedicated to strengthening systems that deliver equitable, accessible, and culturally responsive care. My foundation in leadership began early through hands‑on experience supporting my father’s business, where I learned the essentials of customer service, workflow coordination, and small‑business operations. Working in a family‑run environment taught me adaptability, accountability, and the importance of building trust — principles that continue to guide how I lead teams and manage complex environments.

I have expanded those skills through frontline leadership at Wegmans, where I oversee more than 100 employees in a high‑volume setting with six‑figure daily sales. This role sharpened my abilities in workforce engagement, operational efficiency, and cross‑functional collaboration. I lead with clarity and accountability, cultivating team cultures where people feel supported, valued, and motivated to perform at a high level.

My healthcare experience includes administrative exposure at WakeMed Health & Hospitals, where I analyzed operational metrics such as RVUs, FTEs, and departmental expenditures to identify inefficiencies and inform resource allocation. Volunteering at Amedisys Hospice strengthened my commitment to patient‑centered, culturally competent care, while my research on maternal health disparities and neonatal escalation deepened my understanding of how social and structural factors shape outcomes for vulnerable populations.

I am Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt certified and actively engaged in NAHSE and ACHE, reflecting my commitment to continuous improvement and professional development. I aim to become a healthcare administrator who drives sustainable, equity‑focused transformation across health systems — improving outcomes for diverse communities and ensuring that every patient receives high‑quality, culturally responsive care.
