Career Outlook: Healthcare PM & Pharmacogenomics
Professional Growth Snapshot
In undergrad, I produced professional artifacts (e-portfolio, PM deliverables) requiring clear writing and structured planning. Coursework insights include defined scoping and SMART goal/Gantt chart creation.
- Define scope & acceptance criteria
- Build basic PM plans and Gantt timelines
- Documentation structured for easy review
I aim to strengthen real-world healthcare delivery beyond paper planning and gain hands-on experience with healthcare systems like EHR/RCM.
Target Roles (Near Term)
Strategic Background
- Healthcare Project Manager (Health IT, Interoperability)
- Implementation Project Manager / Coordinator
- Clinical Informatics Project Coordinator
My IHS artifacts and PCIP background support healthcare PM and payment-integration work. I can bridge the gap between technical implementation and clinical workflow optimization.

Timeline & Accountability
Now – May 15, 2026: Finalize STAR stories and IHS artifact bullets from IHS work.
May 16 – June 1, 2026: Polish portfolio artifacts and reflections.
By July 31, 2026: have all of my graduate school applications fully completed and submitted, and I will know exactly which graduate program I am attending.
Weekly 60-minute review: Update one artifact, one reflection, and one job-market action.
Demonstrated: Project Scope Definition, SMART Goal Planning, Gantt Chart Creation, Professional Documentation.
Next Phase: Advanced Interoperability Standards, EHR Optimization, Change Management Methodologies.
I am pursuing a combined Bachelor's and Master's degree in Healthcare Management and Informatics at Kennesaw State University. This program positions me at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and leadership, leveraging over a decade of industry experience to lead effectively in complex healthcare environments.
SMART Goals (0–12 months)
