At PwC Acceleration Center, I manage end-to-end project delivery for a new US healthcare engagement, from defining scope and resource plans to coordinating hiring, onboarding, and transition workstreams. I manage a 90-member delivery team and work with senior leadership, IT, and business stakeholders to keep milestones on track.

At Carelon Global Solutions (Elevance Health), I managed payer operations for claims adjudication and appeals and grievances. I redesigned a quality framework that improved process accuracy from 70% to 95%, and submitted a provider Tax-ID inventory idea that placed in the top 10 at the Carelon Ideathon.

At UnitedHealth Group / Optum, I worked across claims, appeals and grievances, and business analysis. My automation initiatives received the Innovation Champion Award and saved $10M annually and 450 man-hours per month.

My US healthcare experience includes Medicare, Medicaid, ACA, HIPAA, and revenue cycle management. I’m PMP®-certified and also hold a Certified Professional Coder (CPC) certification.
