With 16 years of experience at a Federally Qualified Health Center, I have developed extensive expertise across multiple facets of community healthcare delivery. Beginning in outreach services, I worked directly with community members to improve healthcare access and outcomes. My career evolved to include providing substance use treatment services, where I gained valuable clinical experience supporting individuals on their recovery journeys. I later transitioned into grant and contract management, helping secure and oversee crucial funding for essential health services. Currently, as Director of Finance, I leverage my comprehensive understanding of community health operations to lead financial strategy and oversight, ensuring sustainable delivery of vital healthcare services to our community.
