What I'm looking for

Remote licensing, credentialing, or compliance operations role. 10+ years in multi-state provider licensing, regulatory research, and audit remediation, most recently nursing licensure across all 50 states including telehealth, DEA/CSR applications, and SOP development. Open to contract or full-time, healthcare or other regulated, high-volume compliance environments.

I've spent the last decade in the messier parts of provider licensure, credentialing, and compliance. Always in high-volume, regulated environments where accuracy actually matters. I'm comfortable moving fast, wearing more than one hat, and working directly with the people building the systems I use, not just filing tickets and waiting. I was usually the one Engineering came to when a workflow needed to be mapped out before it could be built.

What keeps me engaged is ambiguity. Regulations that read one way on paper and another in practice, applications that get flagged for reasons nobody's documented yet, processes that technically work but are held together with tape.

I'd rather find the root cause and fix what's actually broken than just clear the queue and wait for the same problem to come back.
