I am the Deputy Director of the VA Boston Healthcare System, a high complexity health care organization. I enjoy implementing data driven process improvement tactics at the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt level to mature organizational processes and enhance strategic and operational planning. I have experience utilizing visual management tools to engage audiences and educate leaders on staff performance, quality metrics, and financial status in a governmental Healthcare setting. As a clinical laboratory scientist managing a core laboratory with over 1.5M tests performed annually, I demonstrate competencies in high complexity clinical laboratory medicine with specialization in clinical chemistry and hematology. I have extensive in-depth experience and subject matter expertise in coagulation studies and anti-coagulation agents. I have led national initiatives to improve monitoring of unfractionated and low molecular weight heparins and contributed to multiple studies on antimicrobial agent impact on clotting times.My clinical background paired with executive level management experience and LSS skill sets make me a valuable asset to heathcare organizations.
