Summary
Helping patients realize their version of success has been a prime motivator in a rewarding career as a sports and orthopedics physical therapist. At this time, I am seeking to make a change to a non-clinical role, leveraging the skills and expertise acquired along the way. Expert resource utilization and stewardship is a part of daily interaction with insurance companies. Maximizing patient outcome while minimizing financial cost is a crucial aspect to effective health care.
