What I'm looking for

I seek senior HIM or coding leadership roles where I can apply auditing, CDI, and coding expertise to improve revenue integrity, compliance, and documentation quality.

I am a seasoned Health Information Management professional with decades of experience in inpatient and outpatient coding, DRG validation, audits, and interim leadership roles across large academic, trauma, and community hospitals. I hold a Master of Administrative Science from Johns Hopkins and professional certifications including RHIA and CCS.

My career highlights include directing a 55-person medical records department, managing a $2M budget, performing complex ICD-10-CM/PCS coding and pre-bill DRG validation, and consulting for multiple health systems using Cerner, Epic, Meditech, 3M, and CAC tools. I have delivered coding education, clinical documentation improvement support, and quality improvement projects that improved documentation accuracy and billing integrity.

I bring a pragmatic, compliance-focused approach to health information operations, combining hands-on coding expertise with leadership in audits, interim management, and process implementation to support revenue integrity and regulatory readiness.
