    I am a dedicated healthcare professional with a wealth of experience in research and clinical operations. I bring a dynamic skill set honed through years of impactful contributions to the field. As Research Director at Hurdle Health for over four years, I played a pivotal role in shaping the company's trajectory. By designing, implementing, and executing strategic research objectives, I significantly contributed to the success of Hurdle Health, securing a $6 million seed round of funding. Managing a team of esteemed public health researchers, including Dr. Woody Neighbors and Dr. Norma Day-Vines, I've led efforts to analyze, develop, and publish articles on the status of minority mental health. Notably, as the Principal Investigator and Clinical Trials Director of a National Institute on Drug Abuse-funded study, I investigated the impact of Hurdle's model on Black men with substance use disorders (SUDs). In prior positions, including Research Associate II at Evidera, I demonstrated exceptional leadership by concurrently managing qualitative and quantitative data collection teams for multiple projects. My contributions extended to project proposals, ranging from $100k to $1 million awards, where I played a crucial role in developing budgets, study protocols, literature reviews, reports, and manuscripts. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Human Services from Northeastern University in 2014 and a Master of Public Health in Community Health from George Washington University in 2023. With a commitment to advancing healthcare through research and strategic operations, I strive to make significant contributions to the field.

    I'm an experienced professional with an advanced research degree. While my formal training is in research and I've spent years working in public health, my real gift is in listening and observing to understand what's happening in projects and organizations.

In 2023, I joined a small consulting firm dedicated to helping the health sector. We can help you: *Tell the story of what you do and why it matters, including figuring out how, where and when to tell it; *Analyze your data and develop compelling papers, presentations and case studies; *Understand and solve the root causes of persistent challenges in your organization; *Plan and execute meetings, workshops and other events where participants engage fully and leave connected and energized.
