I drive healthcare revenue cycle transformation, cash growth, and payer reimbursement.

At St. Joseph’s Medical Center, I lead revenue cycle initiatives that secured and optimized approximately $33M in net patient revenue, increased cash collections by 18%, and reduced denials and bad debt.

I’ve directed hospital and professional payer contracting efforts generating approximately $95M in additional revenue, implemented charge integrity strategies that increased gross revenue by approximately $58M, and reduced departmental expenditures by 20% through vendor management and operational efficiencies. I also oversee CMS Price Transparency compliance and machine-readable file publication.

Earlier, I increased annual net revenue by approximately $23M at Children’s Specialized Hospital and led Epic Revenue Cycle implementation and training across 28 departments at Hackensack Meridian Health, supporting more than 600 employees.
