Through a diverse career I have demonstrated growth and potential in increasing positions of scope, responsibilty, leadership, and formal management. In 2011, I accepted a position as Operations Manager of Clinical Studies at Mayo Clinic Arizona. This challenging and diverse role took me outside of clinical department management and into a new body of knowlege. In the nearly six years in this position I've learned a completely new discipline, directed and managed multiple iterations of project and change management and have taken on additional responsibilities in lab management, space and equipment management and collaborations with Arizona State University and numerous other academic and government entities.Early in Operation Iraqi Freedom I deployed to Iraq to serve as a Civil Affairs Officer and assisted the government of Iraq in its first ever Democratic Election in February 2005. In 2007, I again answered the call to particpate in a second and final mobilization in the Global War on Terror.I am a Licensed Respiratory Therpist in the State of Arizona and Credentialed by the National Board of Respiratory Therapy.
