ABOUT

​I am a healthcare planning and project management professional with over 13 years of experience delivering complex hospital, academic medical center, cancer center, and healthcare campus projects from strategic planning through design and construction.


My expertise bridges healthcare strategy, clinical planning, architectural design, and capital project delivery. Throughout my career at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), I have partnered with healthcare executives, clinicians, architects, engineers, and contractors to translate operational goals into successful healthcare environments.


My experience includes master planning, medical programming, stakeholder engagement, user-group facilitation, operational workflow analysis, multidisciplinary team coordination, construction administration, regulatory approvals, and owner advisory services. I have supported projects throughout every phase of delivery—from early visioning and feasibility studies to implementation, construction coordination, and project completion.


I enjoy solving complex challenges at the intersection of healthcare operations, planning, design, and project delivery, helping organizations create facilities that improve patient care, enhance operational performance, and support long-term growth.
