experience ranging from client management skills to knowledge of clinical program structures and dynamics. I have done this work

utilizing tools such as excel, data mining techniques, and a working knowledge of specific hospital EMR systems and various state

Medicaid and Medicare systems. I have graduate experience at the Masters level, in the macroeconomic influences of healthcare

provision and an understanding of public health best practices and clinical trends with an education on the Affordable Care Act and

current approaches to health outcomes improvement. I also have an understanding of general accounting and finance practices in

relation to revenue management and projections.
