What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can apply occupational therapy skills in rehabilitation and utilization review, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, ensure compliant documentation, and contribute to improved patient outcomes and care coordination.

I am a licensed occupational therapist (NC) with hands-on experience in inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation, utilization review support, and care coordination. I’ve conducted patient evaluations, developed individualized treatment plans, and applied neuro-rehabilitation strategies for adults post-stroke, TBI, and orthopedic injury.

I collaborate closely with interdisciplinary teams, case managers, and third-party payers to ensure accurate clinical documentation, insurance authorization, and regulatory compliance. I routinely use EMR systems (NetHealth) and contribute to efficient patient care delivery through thorough documentation and communication.

My background includes supervised Level 2 fieldwork, rehab assistant experience, and administrative roles that strengthened my skills in scheduling, data entry, and HIPAA-compliant record keeping. I am committed to improving patient outcomes, supporting quality care, and facilitating smooth coordination among providers, payers, and families.
