I want to help build systems that truly care

I’m a systems thinker and storyteller. I build programs—them help organizations scale what works and tell their story to move the whole system forward.

Who I am.

Diagram outlining workflow

I have a Masters in Public Health and 15+ years in healthcare—from consulting to operations.

I bring bold ideas to life. I’ve led teams at Covance, NYC Dept. of Health, Clinton Foundation, and McKesson to improve patient care. I’ve grown tech-enabled efforts across primary care, oncology, and value-based care—creating systems that drive impact and empower teams.

Now, I’m focused on maternal health.

What I’m looking for.

Opportunities where I can:

  • Reimagine patient care—meeting full physical, mental, and emotional needs.

  • Turn data into action—using data to create real change.

  • Create content that inspires, connects, and drives action.

  • Work with a team that values collaboration, growth, and getting things done.

Why I care.

Mothers Day with 2 kids

Becoming a mom opened my eyes to the structural gaps failing new moms.

My husband and I had paid leave, childcare, and mental health support. And it was still hard.

I can’t stop thinking about the moms without those resources.

Volunteering with Postpartum Support International showed me just how common and complex these challenges are.

The status quo isn’t working. So I’m committed to fixing the system—advocating for paid leave, affordable childcare, and mental health support.

Scaling whole-person maternity care.

The U.S. has one of the highest maternal death rates in the world. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

In 2025, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) released new prenatal care guidance that will shift the standard. The 2025 annual conference showed me what’s possible when evidence, empathy, and technology come together in this field.

Here’s how I want to help:

  • Elevate early adopters of ACOG’s guidance

  • Expand mental health support for families and care teams

  • Scale tech-enabled models that prove prevention saves lives, cut costs, and builds trust

  • Activate moms who want to turn trauma and lived experience into positive change.

I’m here to connect the dots across the system and move it forward. Read my 7-part reflection series from ACOG 2025 here.

What it’s really like to work with me.

  • Michelle Lee, VP, Portfolio Strategy & Ops

    MCKESSON TECHNOLOGY

    Nancy was one of our best hires on our new and growing team. Her ability to gather information on an incredibly complex set of reimbursement policies, reporting metrics, and operational processes through her conversations and hands-on experimentation was impressive. She quickly became a respected, strategic voice on our team. Nancy also fully owned her role, focusing first on the outcomes we were trying to achieve as a business, but didn’t see herself as above any tasks that needed to be done to achieve that outcome. The number of people who described working with Nancy as “phenomenal” and “such a breath of fresh air” cannot be underestimated.

  • Mandy Wannarka, Executive Director

    PREGNANCY & POSTPARTUM SUPPORT MINNESOTA

    Nancy created an amazing final product for us to improve the way we engage future volunteers. In addition to her technical project management skills, she navigated the perinatal mental health landscape with ease and professionalism. Nancy took feedback in and used it in future iterations of the project. She brought critical thinking, kindness, and compassion to her work. In perinatal mental health, these aspects are crucial to ensure we are meeting the needs of the community at a time when mental health needs can feel acute, urgent and distressing.

    Nancy is one of those people you feel you can never be successful without their support. She supported my portfolio of digital engagement offerings and partner integrations. Her ability to anticipate program and operational gaps and proactively manage risk contributed significantly to successful cross-functional programs. Nancy’s strong personal and organizational skills enabled her to successfully navigate complex cross-company relationships and broker smooth transitions from strategy/planning to operational execution. Nancy would bring immediate value to any role in which she is engaged.
