Healthcare compliance and risk management leader with 15+ years connecting clinical expertise to operational execution — credentialing oversight for 2,000+ clinicians, compliance turnarounds, and behavioral health systems leadership.
Operational Impact
My Story
I began my career as a psychiatric nurse, working directly with patients in high-acuity behavioral health environments. Early on, I saw that many of the challenges patients and providers faced were not clinical — they were operational.
That realization led me to healthcare operations, where I spent years supporting enterprise provider systems, improving compliance, and managing risk at scale across 2,000+ clinicians in multi-state systems at TeamHealth.
I later stepped into leadership during the startup launch of a new inpatient behavioral health facility — building clinical workflows and compliance processes from the ground up under significant resource and time constraints.
Today I'm seeking remote corporate roles in utilization management, compliance, credentialing, or healthcare operations — where my MBA and RN background drives measurable results without requiring bedside work.
