I create synergy and positive change in one of our Nation's largest safety net health systems. It is incredibly rewarding (and challenging) to be part a system with a noble mission focused on improving the health status of Houston's most at-risk residents. Significant leadership success in progressive positions including more than eight years at the CEO level and Human Resource Director level in diverse healthcare environments. Committed to transparency, engagement, accountability and respect. I possess the interpersonal, critical thinking, and mentoring skills to build strong teams capable of great achievements. Proud of my past; excited about my future.
