At UnitedHealthcare/Optum, I lead and supervise hospital-based social workers in the Care Coordination Department, providing clinical consultation for complex medical, behavioral health, and social needs. I partner with hospitals, providers, and community organizations to improve care transitions and promote positive member outcomes.

Previously at UnitedHealthcare/Optum, I developed California delegation reporting and support models, and presented implementation trends to executive leadership. My experience also includes hospice social work, child welfare, care management, and volunteer coordination, supported by a Master of Science in Social Work and Certified Advanced Practice Social Worker credential.
