With over 10 years of experience in public health research, policy, and evaluation, I am passionate about improving the health and well-being of diverse and underserved populations. As the Evaluation and Performance Manager at Harris County Public Health (HCPH), I lead and develop a team of analysts to monitor and report on programmatic outputs and outcomes, using principles of Performance Management and Quality Improvement. I am committed to building department-wide systems that align with HCPH's strategic goals and priorities, and that foster a culture of data-driven decision making and continuous learning.In my previous role as the Senior Public Health Analyst at HCPH, I supported the strategic planning and alignment of HCPH programs and services through policy development and continuous quality improvement. I collaborated with HCPH leaders to recommend and implement policy changes that responded to the needs and challenges of the communities we serve. I also applied my research skills and knowledge to analyze and synthesize relevant information from various sources, and to produce policy briefs, reports, and presentations that informed and influenced public health stakeholders at the local, state, and federal levels.
