I implement efficient systems, coordinate cross-functional teams, and develop scalable processes that align with organizational goals. • Regulatory Compliance & Policy Development: I ensure strict adherence to federal, state, and corporate regulations. From CMS audits to internal investigations, I support compliance through accurate documentation, timely reporting, and development of policy and procedure manuals. • Data & Systems Management: I serve as a system administrator for EMRs, patient intake systems, and web-based platforms.

With over 17 years of experience in the IT industry I have been able to experience cornucopia of different operating systems, applications and programs. I’d like to think there isn’t really anything in IT that I can’t eventually figure out. I have a solid work ethic, proven across all the different applications I’ve learned over the years. I try to learn quickly I am not afraid to ask questions and am the consummate team player. I enjoy working with people, but I mainly enjoy helping others find the right solution to their problems. I still get a lot of joy when I can close a ticket, knowing I’ve helped someone out.
