Background

About Paula Basu

Detail-focused analyst with public sector experience in healthcare reimbursement, Medicaid rate modeling, and large-scale data analysis. I currently work in the Office of Reimbursement at the New Jersey Department of Human Services, where I lead financial report development, analyze provider payment structures, and prepare regulatory documents that impact millions in Medicaid disbursements. With advanced skills in Excel, Access, and data systems (NJP, SDW, OnBase), I specialize in transforming raw data into strategic insights that inform policy and budgetary decisions. I’m pursuing my MBA with a concentration in Marketing, bringing both analytical rigor and communication strength to cross-functional teams. I’m seeking new opportunities where I can leverage my state government finance background and technical capabilities to contribute to data-driven budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning efforts in healthcare, nonprofit, or mission-driven industries.
