Bio:

MANAGEMENT CONSULTING EXECUTIVE AND EDUCATOR with over 25 years of experience in providing management consulting services to clientele in many segments of the health care industry. Managed operations improvement, change management, and cost management consulting practices; at the partner level in a "Big Four" international professional services firm. Strengths include market planning, practice development and growth, and client and project management. Additional strengths include abilities in communicating and educating client executive personnel such that concepts, ideas, and plans are internalized through effective learning and clear understanding.

Over ten years of experience as a university level educator in various topics within healthcare management. Strengths include an ability to productively relate to students and to engage them in wanting to further their learning experiences. Courses taught include upper division healthcare management topics including finance, leadership, health law, ethics and values, health policy, operations management, and management information systems. University teaching experience has almost exclusively been at California State University, Dominguez Hills along with limited teaching at the UCLA School of Public Health.

Professional Experience:

Prior to that appointment, served continuously since 2009 as a lecturer in the Division of Health Sciences within the College of Health and Human Services. Although technically a part-time faculty member, I carried a teaching load on upper division healthcare management topics of five courses and 15 credit hours each semester. In addition, I have served as faculty instructor for the senior healthcare management capstone course. My success in teaching at CSUDH has been quite exemplary as witnessed by my high scores on the Perceived Teaching Effectiveness measure semester over semester. Further, students have anecdotally indicated to other faculty their very positive experience with my teaching effectiveness and the degree to which they have learned and retained course material.

In addition to my teaching role, I have provided service to the University through two major efforts under my direction as follows. The first is the development and structuring of a Master of Healthcare Administration program to be operationalized at CSUDH by the fall semester of 2016. This has been a significant and time-consuming task involving a great deal of competitor analysis and program content research. This program has been submitted to the Division Director and the Dean of Extended Education for approval and submission to the CSU system Chancellor. The second major initiative is the development, in concert with another tenure-track faculty member, of a research project to be implemented with a team of selected students with the objective of understanding the employment market for CSUDH baccalaureate graduates. My experience at CSUDH has been exceptional and rewarding for both me and the College.
