Experience across institutions
Professional background
My career has moved across sectors, but the work has consistently sat where evidence, operations, regulation, funding, and human capacity meet.
Experience
Founder and Managing Director · IVA
Built an advisory practice around decision readiness, strategic planning, performance management, AI-use readiness, and governance architecture.
Board Treasurer · 350 Chicago
Board finance, budgeting, reporting, capacity, commitments, and governance support.
National nonprofit leadership · American Lung Association
Led public-health and environmental program work spanning grants, budgets, implementation, reporting, procurement, compliance, policy, and cross-functional delivery.
Environmental public health · Sangamon County
Regulatory inspections, complaints, enforcement, court support, formal reporting, and environmental health operations.
Public health programs · Illinois
Work supporting statewide suicide-prevention collaboration, public-health planning, and program implementation.
Laboratory operations · SHIELD Illinois
Supervised laboratory staff and coordinated high-volume COVID-19 testing operations.
Healthcare operations · ScribeAmerica
Chief medical scribe work in emergency-department settings, connecting documentation, clinical workflow, and operational reality.
Automotive finance and operations
Advanced into finance leadership early in my career and learned how incentives, approval systems, and numbers shape behavior.
What connects the work
This is not a collection of unrelated sectors. Each role put me close to a different version of the same problem: responsibility separated from authority, reporting separated from operations, and financial or compliance pressure allowed to define the whole environment.
That cross-sector perspective now informs my work through IVA and my doctoral research. I am most useful where a decision is technically possible but institutionally stuck—because the evidence, authority, capacity, funding or accountability structure does not line up.
