What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to influence healthcare policy and improve patient outcomes through evidence-based practices.

I am a licensed general dentist with a Doctorate of Dental Surgery and a Master of Public Health, bringing a unique blend of clinical expertise and public health knowledge to the table. My extensive experience spans high-volume dental practices, teledentistry consulting, and insurance claims adjudication, allowing me to synthesize clinical insights into actionable policy recommendations. I am passionate about improving patient care through effective policy development and compliance with regulatory standards.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong ability to collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, analyze healthcare trends, and write evidence-based guidelines. My training in public health has equipped me with the skills to understand payer systems and population health dynamics, which I leverage to support enterprise-wide quality initiatives. I am eager to contribute my strong communication skills and attention to detail to help shape Delta Dental’s clinical and business policies.
