Highly organized, self-confident, and versatile professional having healthcare management experience predominately in physician group practices, with exposure to community hospitals and major tertiary centers. Experienced functioning as the Practice Administrator, a Consultant/Coach, and most recently as a Director reporting to Physician Boards and Vice President and CEO, respectively. Natural coach, drawing out the best in each person. Encourages innovative, open-minded thinking and discussion – enjoys “brainstorming” – seeking new concepts. Judicious decision maker based on well-defined, articulated goals. Developmental thinker, able to see the sequential next best step in an individual’s or organization’s advancement. Strong ability to actively listen (soft issues and hard facts) and engage all levels of staff and providers to build teams based on mission and goals across specialty and department lines by identifying the demonstrable individual and team strengths. Inspirational leader, giving others comfort that there is a purpose beyond the daily grind. Persuades rather than coerces in getting work done. Primary Belief: Stockdale Paradox – “You must maintain unwavering faith that you can and will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties, AND at the same time have the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.” EDUCATION, CERTIFICATIONS & PROFESSIONAL AFFILIATIONS Masters of Business Administration, Healthcare Administration LaSalle University, Philadelphia, PA
