For more than 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of speaking to cancer registry and oncology audiences across the country—both in-person and virtually. My goal in every session is the same: make complex, highly technical topics clear, relevant, and immediately usable. I deliver practical, real-world guidance in a style that is approachable and engaging, with concrete examples and takeaways participants can apply as soon as they return to work.
My presentations are grounded in two decades of experience across cancer registry operations, oncology workflows, and data quality. Whether the focus is standards, performance improvement, modernization, or professional growth, I design each talk to meet the audience where they are—while still moving the conversation forward.
Common areas of focus include:
- AI and automation in the cancer registry
What automation can (and cannot) do, how to evaluate workflows for readiness, and how to implement changes while preserving accuracy, compliance, and registrar oversight. - Cancer informatics and data utilization
How cancer registry data fits into the broader healthcare data ecosystem—and how organizations can leverage registry data alongside internal and external data sources to support clinical, operational, and strategic decisions. - Cancer registry operations and procedures
Practical, standards-aligned guidance on casefinding, abstraction, follow-up, quality control, cancer conferences, program administration, and related operational workflows. - Quality control and performance improvement
Applying CoC program standards and abstraction best practices to strengthen data quality, improve consistency, and build effective collaboration with physicians and clinical teams for meaningful quality improvement. - Professional development and leadership
Topics that support individuals and teams through change—leadership development, change management, team effectiveness, communication, and building a culture of quality.
