What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead healthcare revenue cycle operations where I can improve billing accuracy, reduce denials, strengthen controls, and use data, AI automation, and cross-functional collaboration to accelerate revenue recovery and cash flow.

I've led revenue recovery, billing analysis, and data integrity audits at Arizona Infectious Disease, contributing to $5M+ in recovered revenue across 100+ hospital facilities while sustaining 99%+ reporting accuracy for executive leadership.

Across healthcare revenue cycle leadership and independent consulting, I've managed accounts receivable, denials, appeals, reconciliations, coding compliance, and workflow automation. I use Epic, Cerner, Athenahealth, Allscripts, Xifin Empower, Salesforce, SQL-based reporting, and AI-driven analytics to strengthen controls, accelerate cash flow, and help teams resolve complex claims.
