About

From strategy to publication—with accuracy at every step.

I lead the people, processes, and approvals that turn complex healthcare and scientific requirements into high-quality educational programs and published content.

My experience connects medical education, pharmaceutical client services, digital learning operations, scientific publications, and hands-on program leadership. I've worked with physicians, PhD scientists, editors, project managers, clients, and executive stakeholders to move programs from initial planning through final release.

At NACCME, I supervised the webmaster, established web publishing approval workflows, reviewed and edited materials directly in the website back office, and held final approval responsibility before educational content went live. At BrioMed, I provided director-level oversight of pharmaceutical brand-related web content and publication workflows.
