What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, focusing on strategic growth and operational excellence in healthcare.

I am a perceptive and insightful healthcare leader with extensive experience in managing collaborative relationships, business development, contracts, and strategic planning. My career has been marked by a strong focus on process improvement design, which has led to increased efficiency and improved outcomes in the healthcare sector. I thrive in fast-paced environments, leveraging my superior change-management skills and flexibility to deliver healthcare in a more effective and efficient manner.

Currently, I serve as the VP of Provider Network at CIGNA, where I manage the physician network for the Alabama market, driving value-based contracting efforts and developing strategic partnerships. My previous role as IPA Administrator allowed me to lead three Independent Physician Associations, focusing on achieving desired health outcomes and financial objectives. I have a proven track record of analyzing complex data sets to recognize trends and create actionable plans, ensuring continuous improvement in quality metrics.

With a Master of Science in Health Administration from The University of Alabama at Birmingham, I am committed to utilizing my expertise to foster strategic growth and operational improvement in healthcare organizations. I am passionate about collaborating with clinical leaders and stakeholders to enhance patient care and drive innovation in healthcare delivery.
