Summary

My career objective is to utilize my extensive 25 years of experience in case management to positively impact injured workers' recovery outcomes. Through medical assessment interviewing, developing a trusting relationship, and coordinating appropriate and timely medical treatment, the injured worker is empowered to return to maximal functional level and return to a productive quality of life. The insurers and employers experience timely claim resolution and cost savings when working in collaboration with a proactive and experienced case manager. My current territory covers Naples to Tampa.
