As Chief Information Officer and HIPAA Security Officer at CrescentCare—a Federally Qualified Health Center and Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic serving more than 13,000 patients annually—I directed enterprise-wide transformation across technology, data, quality, and compliance. I built and led a high-performing, cross-functional division encompassing IT, Data & Analytics, Training, and Clinical Quality, aligning every initiative with operational excellence, value-based care, and regulatory performance. I spearheaded the organization’s digital modernization strategy, designing and executing a multi-year roadmap that unified cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, EHR optimization, and analytics. Key initiatives included the implementation of Microsoft 365 and Azure, a 20% reduction in IT operating costs through cloud adoption, and the development of enterprise-level Power BI dashboards that provided leadership with real-time insights into access, quality, and patient engagement. I designed and implemented a HIPAA-compliant enterprise ticketing and service-management system, streamlined Ryan White grant reporting, automated data integration workflows, and established the organization’s first Enterprise Data Strategy and 3-Year Quality Plan. As HIPAA Security Officer, I advanced the organization’s cybersecurity maturity through HITECH-aligned risk assessments, disaster-recovery planning, and proactive monitoring frameworks. Guided by the philosophy of People, Process, Technology, and Results, I built sustainable systems and governance structures that empowered teams, reduced operational friction, and positioned CrescentCare for long-term resilience and growth.

As Director of Information Technology at NO/AIDS Task Force (now CrescentCare), I led the organization’s technology modernization during its transformation into a Federally Qualified Health Center. I oversaw enterprise infrastructure, network security, and system design—delivering scalable, compliant, and cost-effective IT solutions that supported clinical, administrative, and operational excellence. Key achievements include leading the organization’s first Electronic Health Record (EHR) implementation, transitioning from paper-based records to a fully digital, compliant system, and later managing the migration to a cloud-based EHR platform to improve accessibility, data security, and interoperability. I also modernized the IT infrastructure, renegotiated vendor contracts for efficiency, and implemented comprehensive cybersecurity and compliance frameworks aligned with HIPAA and HITECH requirements. Through strategic leadership, I built and mentored a high-performing IT team, integrated emerging technologies that enhanced staff productivity and patient service delivery, and provided executive-level oversight for technology-driven transformation initiatives.
