Team leader and problem solver with 15 years of demonstrated excellence in research, analysis and resolution of data, system, procedural and policy issues. Recognized for streamlining processes, improving efficiency, and providing strategic advisement on operational matters. Exceptional communication skills, specializing in distillation of complex issues into concise informational presentations and persuasive messaging. In the book publishing world, I managed a department that yearly handled many millions of dollars’ worth of transactional data—via research, analytics, troubleshooting, policy communications, and financial adjustments (or denials thereof). Currently, I am excited to be a Senior Analyst at Rios Partners, making the Veterans Health Administration's COVID-19 research information more visible/accessible to stakeholders within VA's Office of Research & Development, to the broader VA research community, and to the public.
