      Program Manager II

      Asking the right (and often, hard) questions to ensure that programs have the resources they need is a part of my problem solving approach. Incorporating outcome measures supports the optimal delivery of customer centric services. Resource development based on sound metrics to support programs is a current key activity. Facilitated the acquisition of more than $90 million in resources in support of a broad range of health and human services. High ratio of proposals submitted to wins through strategic analysis of opportunities including pre- and post-award impacts. Current enterprise wide projects include Data for Equity. Service Integration, and Customer Experience. Frequently asked to provide capacity building through technical assistance provided to public and private community service agencies. Experienced in negotiating data sharing agreements and managing IRB process. Show less
