About

I’m a certified Surgical Technologist with 10+ years of perioperative experience across orthopedics, ophthalmology, gynecology, urology, GI endoscopy, and pain management. I enjoy partnering with surgeons, anesthesia providers, and multidisciplinary teams to support safe, efficient surgical workflows and accurate documentation in fast-paced operating room settings.

Alongside my clinical background, I’ve developed strong skills in surgical materials management and clinical product logistics, including inventory tracking, procurement support, supply utilization analysis, discrepancy resolution, and product documentation. With an MS in Health Informatics and Analytics and hands-on experience with tools like Microsoft Excel plus workflow-focused systems (ENVI and Advantix), I’m excited to bring clinical and analytical strengths together to improve quality, readiness, and decision-making around surgical product data.
