What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can deliver community-based behavioral health support through case management, while using my contract, grants, and data skills to improve outcomes—within a collaborative, growth-minded team.

I’m an experienced health & administrative professional with 15+ years of experience in health care, managed care, and customer-facing roles. I bring excellent communication, customer service, project management, and organizational skills, backed by a science background and high technical aptitude.

As a Qualified Behavioral Health Specialist, I provide case management services to promote recovery and wellness in adults and children with mild to severe mental illness and or chemical dependencies. I work as an integral part of an inter-disciplinary team—supporting resource development, crisis intervention, treatment planning, and helping clients execute their Individualized Service Plan.

Previously, as an Associate Contract Manager at Genentech, I was selected by management to oversee a special access project that provided outreach and support for less privileged people in rural areas. I read and applied detailed contract rules and regulations, analyzed data, processed high volumes of chargebacks with compliance and attention to detail, and resolved issues with urgency to maintain excellent customer relations.

I’ve also combined grants, contracts, and healthcare operations as a Grants and Contract Specialist at Case Western Reserve University. I managed budgets for National Institute of Health and other sponsored grants, coordinated accounting and pre-award administration for compliance, and used PeopleSoft Financial to oversee contracts and scope of work—plus I was promoted within a year to this role.
