As the Director of Operations, I am privileged to be the go-to person and first point of service for clients, customers and staff. My interpersonal skills, resource management and result-oriented mentality along with our commitment to maximizing opportunities for growth strengthen Everest’s administrative team. With 34 years in the healthcare industry, I have extensive experience in A/R management and have worked on every level of the revenue cycle from beginning to end. This foundation helps me be successful with strategic planning, customer service and problem solving. Prior to this role, I served as customer service manager for Shands Healthcare. This role required that I successfully handle customer service for 6 healthcare facilities, implement hospital policies, financial assistance programs, handle project executions, manage development of staff, team building, including diversity, and many other HR and administrative duties.
