Message

At Mercy Ships International, I manage a patient selection country team and support the patient selection strategy. I lead desk research on new host nations and work with the country team to prepare assessment reports and country strategies.

Previously, at 1st Care Management Incorporated, I directed clinical coordination and operations, supported clinical oversight, and led provider onboarding and eClinical Works training. At Dial-A-Doctor Direct, I coordinated eHealth operations and designed plans and proposals for community health projects.
