EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

I measure my success by how many people around me succeed, and many I've mentored now lead their own teams, divisions, or companies. At Providence, that approach delivered an 8x jump in Spanish-speaking caregiver applications within 30 days and 14.68% average yearly applicant growth over three years. I've also launched an AI workflow that saved approximately $250K and lifted open rates 12.75% year over year.

​

Off the clock, I'm a D&D Dungeon Master, comic collector, traveler, and long-suffering University of Oregon fan.
