Concord, New Hampshire

My professional journey began in the dynamic environment of healthcare operations at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, where I contributed to the critical work of the Patient Accounts & Medical Billing division. In this role, I gained foundational expertise in the complex intersection of healthcare delivery and financial operations, developing proficiency in Electronic Health Records systems, insurance verification, prior authorization, and Point-of-Service (POS) Collections. This formative experience instilled in me a deep appreciation for process optimization, regulatory compliance, and the human element that underlies every transaction in healthcare.
