Portland, Or, Us

As an experienced executive, I have considerable programmatic experience in healthcare services development, delivery, and operations. I utilize best practices in managing budgets, controlling expenses, and determining appropriate and fair resource allocation. I examine operating results and propose business solutions to harness technology, reduce costs, and ensure sustainable growth. I provide strong leadership and day-to-day oversight to a highly skilled workforce, including exceptional medical staff, clinicians, interns, and volunteers. I consider working beside them an honor and privilege as we serve vulnerable patients, their families, or natural supports. There are many facets I have sincerely enjoyed throughout my career: 1) Being an advocate for vulnerable individuals by leading with authenticity, honesty and integrity; 2) Working with excellent and dedicated staff to identify the most practical and affordable ways to excel in a highly regulated environment; (3) Being analytical while simultaneously personable; (4) Deploying meticulous attention to detail, even when priorities unexpectedly change and (5) Being sincere, approachable and articulate in my personal best effort to make a difference in the lives of everyone I come into contact with.
