OBJECTIVE:
I just completed a project where I was the OpTime/Anesthesia Project Manager, it was very rewarding and
challenging. Along with being the Optime/Anesthesia Project Manager I also continued to perform build tasks.
With my clinical and epic build and implementation experience I have successfully led the OpTime/Anesthesia
team in making changes to the initial build to better assist the end-users in their daily work and meet regulatory
requirements. Prior to consulting I was involved in the planning, building, and implementation of an EHR for
my organization for nine years, with the last three years working at the system level of a large health care
organization planning, building, and implementing Epic OpTime/Anesthesia. I have supported seven successful
OpTime/Anesthesia builds and implementations. I have received my Masters in Healthcare Administration,
from Walden University, and look forward to putting the knowledge that I gained to use in a leadership position
for professional growth.
