Senior Lead, Implementation Project Manager, WEX Health
Q: Tell us about yourself.
A: I am a Senior Lead Implementation Project Manager at WEX Health responsible for delivering complex, highstakes client implementations. I bring a project-driven, execution-focused approach to implementation strategy, translating client goals into structured plans with clear milestones, controlled scope, and measurable outcomes. I am known for building pragmatic project frameworks, anticipating risks early, and maintaining tight oversight of timelines, budgets, and dependencies to ensure predictable, high-quality launches.
I hold a Master’s degree in Healthcare Administration and a Bachelor’s degree in Healthcare Administration and Exercise Science, which provide a strong foundation in how benefits and spending account programs operate across diverse healthcare ecosystems. As a certified Project Management Professional (PMP), I apply disciplined, standards-based delivery practices, including work-back scheduling, stakeholder alignment, change and issue management, and proactive status communication
Q: What does success look like to you right now?
A: For me professionally, success as a driven, competitive, and results-oriented project manager means delivering outcomes that are both measurable and meaningful. It starts with setting clear goals, building a disciplined plan, and executing with focus. With the priority of being on time, within scope, and aligned to business and client objectives while also building a relationship with my client. Hitting milestones matters, but true success goes beyond the project plan.
I measure success by how well my teams are aligned, risks are anticipated, and decisions are made proactively rather than reactively. A successful project is one where stakeholders feel confident, informed, and supported throughout the process, and where challenges are addressed with transparency and accountability.
I’m competitive in the sense that I constantly push myself and my teams to Raise The Bar (to learn from each project and deliver better outcomes than the last). Success also means leaving teams stronger than when the project started: with clear ownership, trust, and a shared sense of accomplishment. When a project launches smoothly, delivers value, and the team feels proud of how it was executed, that’s success to me.
Q: What’s something people might be surprised to learn about you?
A: One thing that often surprises people about me is how competitive I am and how deeply my passion for sports influences my approach to leadership and work. I’ve always been drawn to environments that challenge me to push limits, stay disciplined, and continuously improve and that’s why I love competing in CrossFit. It’s not just about physical strength; it’s about strategy, resilience, and mental toughness. If you are looking for a new gym, EHP Performance in Moorhead is where you need to go!
CrossFit and sports have taught me how to perform under pressure and stay focused on incremental progress. You don’t win every workout, but you show up consistently and compete against your own best performance! That mindset translates directly into how I lead projects and teams.
Q: What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?
A: The best advice I’ve ever received is that hard work is the one thing you can always control. Talent, timing, and circumstances may vary, but consistent effort, preparation, and execution set you apart over time.
Q: Why is our local United Way important to you?
A: My local United Way is important to me because it creates meaningful, measurable impact at the community level. I value how United Way brings together businesses, nonprofits, and volunteers to address critical needs like health, education, and financial stability. Supporting United Way aligns with my belief that strong communities are built through collaboration and long-term solutions, not one-off efforts. Knowing that contributions and volunteer time directly support local programs and produce real outcomes for families and individuals – makes it especially meaningful to me.
Q: What is a hope you have for our community?
A: hope for the community to continue progress toward being healthier, more connected, and more resilient. I want to see strong collaboration between organizations, businesses, and local leaders to address root causes and not just symptoms. A successful community is one where people feel supported, opportunities are accessible, and outcomes are measured by long-term impact.
