A little background

My path has moved through service operations, healthcare management, financial underwriting, and research — settings that all reward the same things: attention to detail, clear communication, and financial literacy. I'm pursuing an MBA to sharpen that experience into a formal toolkit and to work at the intersection of healthcare, finance, and strategy.

02 — Work

Selected work

A generalist foundation built across consulting, healthcare operations, research, and leadership.

How do operations actually run?

The real work lives at the front line — in the details of how people, money, and information move day to day.

Where do healthcare and finance meet?

From dental-practice administration to healthcare acquisitions, the interesting problems sit where care delivery meets financial reality.

How do you make the analysis land?

Numbers only matter if they translate into clear, actionable recommendations people can act on.
