What I'm looking for
I am an MBA-prepared Registered Nurse and senior healthcare leader with over 10 years of experience driving provider network operations and value-based care management.

At Cigna and CareAllies I led cross-functional initiatives to optimize ACA Exchange and Medicare provider performance, oversaw value-based financials and reconciliations, and served as a subject matter expert on alternative payment models. My clinical background in case management and utilization review informs a pragmatic approach to population health, risk adjustment, and quality improvement.
