A decade of groundwork: skills learned, systems mastered, leadership earned.

I began in frontline technical support, building a strong base in troubleshooting, customer communication, and structured problem-solving.

At Omnicell, I expanded into large-scale server and application monitoring, gaining hands-on experience with high-reliability healthcare systems and proactive operations.

My move to CSC marked my transition into leadership, where I managed a 12-member team, strengthened operational processes, and supported mission-critical healthcare interfaces across thousands of sites.

Over these ten years, I evolved from an individual contributor into a technically strong, operationally mature, and customer-focused leader—forming the foundation for my later work in data and platform operations.
