In my practice management roles, I provide operational leadership, strategic guidance, and coaching to physicians, providers, and multidisciplinary healthcare teams across multiple pediatric practice locations. I support ambulatory practice operations through oversight of departmental initiatives, financial performance, workflow optimization, facility operations, and practice growth strategies. By analyzing operational data, evaluating systems and processes, and implementing continuous improvement initiatives, I help enhance efficiency, patient experience, and overall practice performance. I also collaborate closely with Medical Group leadership to support organizational goals, strengthen practice operations, and advance community engagement initiatives on behalf of Prisma Health.
During my tenure in private practice, I advanced through progressive leadership roles while gaining extensive experience in medical coding, reimbursement optimization, payer relations, and practice administration. Earning my AAPC Certified Professional Coder (CPC) credential strengthened my ability to support physicians through accurate coding practices and revenue cycle optimization. In addition, I developed expertise in insurance contract review and negotiation, contributing to improved operational and financial outcomes. These experiences strengthened my leadership abilities, professional judgment, and commitment to leading by example.
