I started at Hillside Primary Care as a healthcare VA — scheduling, calls, insurance, EHR. That role became the foundation for something much bigger. At Arrae Health, I became the sole remote operator running multi-site clinic operations, and I built my own VA team to do it: I recruited, hired, and trained a 12-person remote workforce, creating a real services operation for my clients from the ground up.
I rebuilt the phone system in Vonage from scratch — designing the full call tree — and redesigned scheduling workflows that cut abandoned calls by 60% in 90 days. I wrote the SOPs, built the training, set up the KPI reporting, and ran Chronic Care Management programs. I handled 50+ patients a day while managing the team that handled thousands more.
I came up through practices that valued holistic, root-cause care, and that shaped how I see operations: every workflow I design is ultimately a patient-advocacy decision. I bring extreme ownership, Lean process thinking, and a founder's instinct for building things that scale — because I've actually built one.
