What I'm looking for

Healthcare leader with extensive experience directing rehabilitation services, leading multidisciplinary teams, solving complex problems, and improving operations. Seeking a remote healthcare opportunity where I can leverage my leadership, communication, problem-solving, and patient-centered experience to drive meaningful outcomes and organizational success.

At Rennes Health and Rehab, I lead therapy services by improving workflows, implementing evidence-based protocols, and coordinating patient-centered care with physicians, nurses, interdisciplinary teams and insurance agencies.

I manage budgets, track gross margins, falls, readmission rates, and treatment minutes, while building insurance-provider relationships that support favorable reimbursement rates and service revenue.

I've maintained regulatory adherence, mentored therapists, and created development opportunities that strengthen clinical skills and staff retention. I also focus on clear communication with patients and families to optimize interventions and length of stay.

My foundation as a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant includes rehabilitation, restorative care, behavioral health, documentation, and individualized treatment planning. I've also managed teams of 15–20 employees and bring practical experience in daily operations, scheduling, and team productivity.
