Director of Strategic Market Intelligence

2017 – 2018 Administrative Fellow

 

“The Administrative Fellowship at Memorial Healthcare System gave me the opportunity to learn from everyone across the organization. It challenged all that I learned during graduate school by experiencing, first-hand, anything that could happen in the healthcare setting. As part of Memorial’s strategic planning team today, the fellowship provided a foundational understanding of seeing the system as a whole and how strategic decisions can affect all parts of the organization. Even more insightful was the opportunity to be mentored and experience the styles of leaders throughout, which has helped me continue to develop as a person and as a professional”.

2013 – 2014 Administrative Fellow

 

“Looking back on my opportunity to serve as a Fellow for Memorial Healthcare System, I've come to appreciate the experience this program extends to emerging healthcare leaders. The Fellowship provides invaluable insights into the organization's mission, vision, priorities, and approach to providing quality care while ensuring best value for our patients and the hospital.

Over the course of their tenure, fellows develop relationships with providers and leaders in many diverse areas of healthcare operations. Fellows get to see the “why” behind the decisions being made and develop a deeper understanding of the organizational philosophy. What makes this experience truly special is the chance to engage with leaders at every level hospital leadership right up to the senior executive team. Fellows, upon completion are better prepared to transition into an operational role and effectively contribute to the organization. I am grateful for this opportunity that I had, and the Fellowship provided the foundation for my healthcare career”.

JDCH Associate Administrator

2004-2005 Administrative Fellow 

 

“The Memorial Fellowship Program really jumpstarted my career. The rotational structure allowed me to see many different leadership styles and provided a great opportunity to be involved in many unique projects. I was able to be part of the opening of Memorial Hospital Miramar. Seeing a brand new hospital welcome its very first patients is an experience that many healthcare professional never have in an entire career. Nearly 20 years later, there are still lessons that I learned in my Fellowship that I apply regularly. Completing the Fellowship Program at Memorial Healthcare System was a great opportunity”.
