Skills
Accomplishments
I worked within a team of five people opening the first comprehensive withdrawal management/detox facility in the state of MN, creating a safe, conducive environment for those seeking assistance in the start of their recovery journey. I interviewed, hired, and staffed the program to develop a fully functioning and expert team - from nurses, to counselors, to admissions representatives, and to technicians. I also learned various software programs and trained in the team on them, navigating trials and weighing out the pros and cons to present to higher management. I am well versed in insurance navigation and know the language needed to effectively push through pre-approvals or handle denials. I have incredible team management skills, exuding level-headed patience and understanding when dealing with conflicts when I managed 25 staff members, and expanded into a team of 50+.
