The common theme throughout my career is a deep passion for leading people, building high-performing teams, and driving continuous improvement. I’m known for being a barrier-breaker, trailblazer, and symbol of excellence. I pour myself into my work and draw a lot out of it. I consistently build consensus and rapport as well as bring a diverse view to solving problems. I appreciate the opportunity to connect and collaborate.As a senior healthcare executive and decorated C-suite former military leader, I bring a wide range of experience and domain expertise in executive leadership, strategic planning, stakeholder engagement, budget oversight, and healthcare administration. My blended clinical and business acumen has enabled me to touch matrixed organizations at all levels – from developing and training clinical teams to leading large divisions.After I obtained my dental degree at the University of Pittsburgh, I entered into my residency and subsequent fellowship for oral and maxillofacial surgery. Following my residency, in 1997, I came on active duty in the US Army until I officially retired in 2023. My 26-year active-duty career in the US Army included a number of progressive roles across program management, military education, medical logistics, and personnel management, while also serving as a subject matter expert and principal advisor to military C-suite on organizational safety, quality, and efficiency. I managed large teams (up to 22,000 employees), directed multibillion-dollar operational budgets, and supervised large-bed military hospitals, public health clinics, dental, and veterinary facilities across multi-state markets which served up to 500,000+ beneficiaries.Additionally, I led all facets of workforce planning (recruiting, retention, education, and training), managed staff reorganizations to better streamline operations, expanded health services, engaged stakeholders from multiple military branches, shaped mission and value propositions, and drove diversity and inclusion initiatives. During my tenure, I also obtained two additional graduate degrees, one in healthcare administration and another in strategic studies.
