Automation Consultant at SOLVD, building Salesforce and AI automations for enterprise clients. Former medical assistant working toward a career in healthcare administration and health IT.
About
I'm an Information Systems student at BYU's Marriott School and an Automation Consultant at SOLVD, a Salesforce and Anthropic consulting partner. In my first year I've automated 10+ business processes with Apex and Flow, built a Salesforce-to-SAP integration through MuleSoft, and served as the sole consultant on an international client's production org.
Before tech I logged 900+ clinical hours as a medical assistant and worked as a CNA. I served two years in Cambodia, where I helped lead operations for a 100-person organization and built its health and safety programs. Those experiences are why I care about the systems behind patient care, and why my target is healthcare administration and health IT.
