Experienced collections specialist with proven leadership in healthcare and consumer debt recovery.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven collections professional with two decades of experience recovering consumer, medical, and commercial debts across remote and on-site environments.
I have consistently exceeded collections and KPI goals while maintaining FDCPA, HIPAA and state compliance, and I have hands-on experience with Epic, RCS, AS/400 and multiple dialer systems.
As a manager I hired and trained collection teams, ran reporting and multiple dialer strategies, and handled complex disputes, attorney inquiries and client communications to protect client relationships.
I bring proven negotiation, skip-tracing and problem-resolution skills, a track record of top collector and rookie awards, and a professional service background that supports strong customer interactions.
