What I'm looking for

I seek a role in healthcare operations or compliance where I can leverage credentialing, contract management, and workflow optimization skills within a collaborative, growth-oriented organization focused on quality and patient-centered care.

I am a growth-focused healthcare operations professional with an MBA in Healthcare Management and hands-on experience in compliance coordination, credentialing, and radiology workflow optimization. I have led contract lifecycle management, maintained data integrity across provider and payor systems, supported Medicare/Medicaid enrollment, and administered GRC tools while delivering strong administrative and project support.

I excel at improving patient flow, coordinating complex neuro-interventional and Theranostics scheduling, and supporting clinical studies and cross-functional teams. My strengths include regulatory compliance, audit-ready documentation, EMR/RIS proficiency, and building collaborative relationships to produce timely, high-quality outcomes.
