Passionate about aligning innovative solutions with organizational goals, I thrive on fostering collaboration, improving patient care, and driving meaningful change in the healthcare landscape. At Optum, I oversee clinical program development for Home & Community, extending nurse practitioner services to underserved rural populations and revamping care transitions. My expertise in go-to-market strategies and client relationship management, honed in previous roles, supports the creation and scaling of impactful healthcare solutions.
