What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead collections teams, improve recovery metrics, uphold compliance, and drive client satisfaction.

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.
