I graduated with my MSN from Vanderbilt University in 2009 and joined Ascent Healthcare in 2014, where I have held various leadership positions and contributed to the company's growth and success. My core competencies include organizational management, strategic planning, provider management, and leadership development. I am responsible for establishing contracts with new facilities, hiring and training new providers, managing NPs/PAs and MAs within Ascent Healthcare, coordinating with insurance companies, and managing Ascent Healthcare's electronic health record and MACRA objectives. I am passionate about improving the quality of life and health outcomes for our patients and empowering our team of dedicated professionals.
