About The HIPAA Pro

Privacy Officer | Privacy Director | Certified Compliance Leader | HIPAA Program Oversight | Risk & Regulatory Strategy | Remote Program Management | U.S. Navy Veteran

Healthcare compliance leader with over a decade of experience helping organizations navigate HIPAA, privacy, and complex regulatory requirements. My work has centered on building practical compliance programs, leading investigations, and fostering cultures of accountability and trust.

Privacy Officer for a Veterans Health Administration facility and, most recently, Director of HIPAA compliance operations for national health services vendors. Skilled in assessing operational risk, interpreting federal regulatory changes, and guiding internal teams through evolving compliance landscapes. Committed to enforcing privacy rules practically, sustaining stakeholder trust, and promoting organizational readiness.

Through The HIPAA Pro, I publish research, commentary, and practical insights that support healthcare organizations in strengthening privacy and compliance practices. While looking forward to my next professional role, I continue to expand my expertise through writing, research, and education—sharing knowledge that helps organizations anticipate risks, stay compliant, and earn the trust of the patients and communities they serve.

Open to leadership opportunities in healthcare privacy and compliance, and always interested in connecting with peers and organizations committed to advancing privacy and trust.
