What I'm looking for

I am looking for a fully remote role where I can leverage my clinical expertise and analytical skills in a supportive team environment focused on behavioral health.

I am a dedicated and detail-oriented Registered Nurse with over a decade of experience in utilization review, behavioral health case management, and acute care coordination. My strong background includes conducting medical necessity reviews, discharge planning, and behavioral health utilization management across diverse populations, including Medicaid and dual-eligible members. I am Board Certified in Medical-Surgical Nursing (RN-BC) and a Certified Case Manager (CCM), with advanced knowledge of MCG/ASAM criteria and interdisciplinary collaboration.

In my current role as an RN Clinical Coordinator at UnitedHealthcare, I serve as the primary care manager for members with complex medical, behavioral, and socioeconomic needs. I conduct utilization reviews for various services, collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to optimize health outcomes and reduce readmissions. My previous experience as a Charge Nurse at Houston Methodist involved overseeing daily operations and facilitating the opening of a new hospital facility, where I played a key role in onboarding and training new staff.
