My work spans medical devices, pharmaceuticals, healthcare technology, and home health, with a consistent focus on aligning teams to support clinical, operational, and financial priorities, serving patients.At Exact Sciences, I work closely with health system leadership and internal cross-functional teams to help bridge clinical intent with operational execution for colorectal cancer screening. This includes supporting workflow integration, access strategy, and sustainable adoption of diagnostic solutions—enabling care teams to screen more patients while minimizing administrative burden.I am also actively engaged in advancing early cancer detection and population health strategies, collaborating with provider organizations to explore how emerging technologies can help close screening gaps and improve outcomes. My approach centers on thoughtful partnership—aligning access, reimbursement, quality metrics, and operational readiness to support scalable, system-wide impact.I bring deep clinical and health system knowledge across oncology, gastroenterology, endocrinology, high-risk obstetrics, gynecology, and care delivery operations.
