What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role in occupational health or case management where I can improve outcomes, reduce workplace injuries, lead and mentor teams, and implement effective return-to-work and safety programs.

I am a Registered Nurse Case Manager with more than 20 years delivering high-quality care and case management across clinical and corporate settings. I bring over a decade of managerial experience providing leadership, training and performance oversight.

I have led regional and onsite programs, managed up to 26 clinics, and developed wellness and transitional work initiatives that improved outcomes. At Concentra I helped reduce the recordable rate by 20% and lost time injuries by 70% through program development and return-to-work strategies.

In my current and recent roles I conduct post-discharge assessments, coordinate care across departments, mentor new hires and consistently exceed business metrics. I have overseen workers' compensation case closure, occupational injury treatment, regulatory compliance and safety data analysis.

I hold Certified Case Manager and Certified Occupational Health Nurse credentials and have served in AAOHN leadership roles. I am driven to lead teams, improve patient and employee outcomes, and implement pragmatic solutions that reduce risk and support return-to-work.
