About

I’m a results-driven IT leader with deep experience in delivering employee-centric technology solutions across complex healthcare environments. Throughout my career, I’ve led eight major IT functions—ranging from service desk and desktop engineering to modern endpoint management and virtualization—all grounded in one goal: improving how people experience technology at work. Currently, I lead Orlando Health’s Digital Workplace Solutions team, where I’m advancing our maturity based on Digital Workplace framework. I’m passionate about removing digital friction, elevating employee experience, and aligning technology strategies with business outcomes. Whether it’s deploying desktop and app delivery experiences, enhancing endpoint security, or redesigning our VDI experience for Epic Hyperdrive, I take pride in building high-performing teams that deliver results. I believe the future of IT is personal, proactive, and user-focused—and I’m excited to help shape it. Let’s connect if you’re exploring innovation in Digital Workplace, IT operations, or team experience transformation.
