WORK HISTORY
Executive Practice Administrator @Fichte, Endl & Elmer Eyecare
I oversee the day-to-day operations of a multi-site ophthalmology practice, managing a multimillion-dollar budget, 85 staff members, and seven direct reports. My role spans clinical, administrative, and financial functions, with a focus on aligning operational execution with strategic goals. I work closely with physician owners to improve patient experience, optimize revenue cycle performance, and ensure regulatory compliance. From budgeting and staffing to vendor negotiations and compliance oversight, I lead cross-functional teams to keep the practice running smoothly and moving forward.One of my most impactful projects was leading a $500K site expansion. I coordinated internal departments and external vendors, ensuring the entire build-out was completed without any disruption to daily operations. I also conducted a financial analysis that uncovered inefficiencies in our IT services, ultimately reducing costs by 32% through system consolidation and the elimination of unnecessary after-hours support at a secondary location. To support ongoing decision-making, I introduced monthly productivity reporting that tracks revenue, expenses, payroll, and patient volume against historical trends—giving leadership the insights they need to act with clarity and speed.To further strengthen the financial side of my leadership, I completed both the Revenue Cycle Management Specialist (RCMS) and Certified Healthcare Financial Professional (CHFP) credentials. These certifications reflect my deep commitment to financial strategy, data accuracy, and value-based performance improvement. I bring a disciplined, systems-based approach to practice leadership, always focused on financial health, operational excellence, and long-term sustainability.
