What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a healthcare analytics role where I can use SQL, Power BI, and predictive forecasting to improve reimbursement accuracy, reduce denials, and deliver stakeholder-ready insights that drive measurable cost savings.

I’m an analytical professional with 8+ years of experience in high-stakes financial and healthcare environments, specializing in Medical Economics and Revenue Cycle Management. I leverage SQL and Power BI to transform complex datasets into actionable business insights, including a $300,000 annual cost-saving initiative. I’m especially drawn to work that blends data integrity, risk assessment, and stakeholder communication to improve decisions that affect real outcomes.

In my recent role as a Medical Economics Specialist, I developed and automated dynamic Power BI dashboards by extracting and transforming complex healthcare datasets with SQL, giving stakeholders real-time visibility into payer performance and reimbursement trends. I used advanced Excel (Power Query, Pivot Tables) for deep-dive financial analysis on provider contracts, uncovered inefficiencies, and helped reduce claim denials by 10% through data-informed process improvements. Across audits and forecasting, I focus on compliance, regulatory standards, and predictive forecasting—translating technical findings into clear recommendations that support revenue accuracy and operational efficiency.
