My expertise spans: Medicare & Medicaid Policy – National expert in Medicare quality programs, Quality Payment Program, and provider outreach. Stakeholder Engagement – Building strong relationships with state agencies, healthcare providers, and advocacy organizations. Training & Education – Leading large-scale webinars and in-person sessions, educating thousands of stakeholders on critical policy changes. Process Improvement – Driving efficiency in operations through data-driven insights, including A3s and Kaizen initiatives. Leadership & Mentorship – Managing workgroups, coordinating inter-agency collaboration, and guiding colleagues across regions. From leading IRA education webinars replicated nationwide to spearheading national NSA outreach campaigns, I am committed to driving impactful, informed, and strategic engagement in the healthcare space.
