Medical Education and Training Solutions That Scale Healthcare Excellence

With a doctoral degree in nursing and over 10 years of progressive healthcare leadership spanning medical education and training, quality improvement, and clinical operations, I bring expertise in identifying clinical knowledge gaps, developing evidence-based CME curricula, managing ACCME accreditation processes, and translating emerging clinical evidence into accessible educational content. My unique combination of clinical expertise, learning design, and operational leadership allows me to provide the strategic clinical insights and business development support your team requires.

I don't just design learning solutions—I execute them. From initial strategy through final delivery, I manage projects and programs end-to-end while providing transparent progress updates and identifying critical performance gaps. My approach combines rigorous medical accuracy with engaging, evidence-based learning methodologies that have delivered measurable results including 80% increases in clinical competence and 40% decrease in time to productivity.

With a background in family medicine, urgent care, and women’s health, I serve healthcare organizations across all specialties. Whether I am designing CT interpretation training for pulmonologists, authoring an evidence-based hypertension medical education program, managing CME accreditation, or spearheading a sales enablement onboarding and training program for homecare staff, my approach scales to meet your unique needs.

Every project reflects my unwavering commitment to accessibility, inclusivity, and authenticity. I specialize in trauma-informed, culturally responsive content that meets diverse learning needs while maintaining rigorous regulatory compliance and educational excellence.
