ABOUT ME
Helping Healthcare Teams Turn Complex Challenges into Executable Plans
I help healthcare organizations navigate complexity and deliver meaningful results. With experience leading hospital-wide initiatives, launching new services, and establishing project management frameworks, I support leaders who need clarity, alignment, and momentum.
My work focuses on turning strategy into action: defining scope, setting priorities, aligning stakeholders, and creating practical frameworks teams can actually use. I typically work on short, focused engagements that help stalled or high-impact initiatives move forward.
Collaboration, clear communication, and structure are at the core of my work. I bring experience in project management, change management, process improvement, and funding support - all applied to real-world healthcare challenges.
If your team is navigating complex initiatives, I can help you build the structure needed to move work forward with confidence.
My Portfolio
Welcome to my portfolio. Here you'll find a selection of projects I’ve led. Explore how I’ve helped healthcare organizations turn complex initiatives into structured, actionable outcomes.
Establishing the Project Management Framework
As the first dedicated Project Manager for the hospital’s portfolio, I spearheaded the development of a formalized project management structure. With no existing Project Management Office (PMO), I implemented standardized processes, tools, and templates to support a diverse range of initiatives.
One of the key deliverables was the creation of a Project Intake Form with a prioritization system to assess alignment with strategic goals. This enabled leadership to make data-driven decisions on project selection. Additionally, I developed educational materials to build organizational awareness of project management principles, ensuring a strong foundation for future projects.
Quarterly Strategic Planning Days
Each quarter, I lead strategic planning sessions with the leadership team, including directors and the VP, to assess project alignment with organizational objectives. Using the Four Disciplines of Execution (4DX) framework, we prioritize key initiatives, track lead measures, and maintain accountability through a structured execution model.
To support these sessions, I developed a Smartsheet project repository, categorizing projects as "stroke of the pen," "breakthrough," or "whirlwind." We assess initiatives using the PICK chart (Possible, Implement, Challenge, Kill), ensuring focus on high-impact projects. This structured approach has streamlined decision-making and improved project execution.
Vocational Empowerment Canteen Project
This initiative created a vocational opportunity for inpatients in the hospital’s Forensic and Psychiatric Rehabilitation program. Many long-term patients had limited access to external work opportunities, so we launched an on-site canteen where they could gain meaningful employment.
As project manager, I led the initiative from concept to implementation, securing executive support, coordinating stakeholders, and developing a structured project plan. Within four months, the canteen was operational, providing patients with work experience and a sense of purpose in their recovery journey.
Hospital Team Relocation Project
To support a community collaboration aimed at breaking the chronic homelessness cycle, I managed the relocation of a hospital-based interdisciplinary team to a new facility. This involved extensive stakeholder coordination, including facilities management, IT, finance, and quality assurance teams.
Key activities included space design, needs assessment, budgeting, risk management, and stakeholder agreements. The relocation was successfully executed, ensuring seamless service delivery in a more accessible environment for vulnerable populations.
Outpatient Specialized Geriatric Services Project
Tasked with launching specialized geriatric outpatient services, I managed the development of an integrated, standardized model of care. This included recruiting an interprofessional team, securing clinic space, and designing standardized processes for intake, clinical triage, assessment, and care planning.
I also developed financial and performance measurement frameworks, enabling ongoing evaluation of clinic impact. Within eight months, the clinic was fully operational, successfully serving clients and improving access to specialized geriatric care.
