Summary

I manage $4.3M in hospital inventory and lead emergency preparedness for a critical access hospital, combining an MBA in Hospital Administration with hands-on supply chain optimization. I've eliminated $65,000 in phantom supply charges, reduced waste by 65%, and built all-hazards training programs that achieve 100% inspection pass rates. My background includes 12 years leading operations and training teams, and I'm completing a Master of Social Work to integrate behavioral health expertise into healthcare operations.
