While my experience has been primarily with Federally Qualified Health Centers, I can work with a variety of healthcare organizations interested in better understanding their current environments and opportunities for growth.

Who is Nigel featured in the logo?

Nigel, my beloved Chihuahua companion, journeyed alongside me for 16 incredible years, a time that beautifully intertwined with my career in healthcare. He wasn't just a pet; he was an embodiment of the values that now underpin my approach to digital health transformation – growth, resilience, compassion, patience, and a deep understanding of the human need to care for others.



Just as Nigel brought joy and companionship to those around him, I believe that thoughtfully designed digital tools have the power to enrich the healthcare experience for all. My goal is to honor his memory by creating a healthcare system that's not just efficient and innovative, but also compassionate, patient-centered, and filled with the same warmth and understanding that Nigel embodied.

What does "Asina" mean?

I am proud to hail from the captivating landscapes of Northern New Mexico, a region where the rich heritage of traditional New Mexican Spanish continues to thrive. "Asina," a word unique to this region, carries a profound meaning, signifying direction and guidance – "this way" or "that way."

By choosing "Asina" for my consulting practice, I pay homage to my New Mexican roots and embrace the essence of this distinctive expression. It reflects my unwavering commitment to guiding healthcare organizations through the complexities of digital transformation, providing clarity and purpose on their journey.

Together, let's create a future where technology and compassion seamlessly integrate to deliver a truly transformative experience for all.
