About
Visionary healthcare executive with a proven track record of translating evidence into operational excellence. I lead strategic initiatives that integrate research, partnerships, and innovation to design, implement, and evaluate programs that transform healthcare delivery. Skilled in fostering collaboration, mentoring teams, and driving client-centered solutions, I leverage data analysis, critical thinking, and evidence-informed approaches to achieve measurable improvements in quality and outcomes. Passionate about bridging research and practice, I champion partnerships that shape sustainable healthcare systems and services.
My expertise spans measurement and evaluation, patient and family engagement, and knowledge mobilization. I specialize in designing assessment tools, applying psychometrics, and employing mixed-methods research to inform decision-making and advance health system performance.
