Bio

I'm a Doctor of Physical Therapy with 15 years of a wide range of clinical experiences prior to moving into the population health then health policy spaces. I have deep expertise traditional and alternative payment models and incentives, post-acute, home health, and hospice, as well VBC and Medicare policy and program development and implementation all along the care continuum. I've held roles in client success and business strategy, and my SME in Medicare and VBC Policy led to a career shift into public policy.

I now lead VBC and Medicare policy for a Fortune 10 Company, supporting the organization across business lines as part of the Public Policy and Government Affairs team. She leads the relationship with CMS and the CMS Innovation Center (CMMI) for value-based care policy and contributes to internal and external thought leadership. I also supports the internal federal and state lobbying teams, business and strategy leaders, and I represent the organization on several key coalitions. I'm an elected member of the National Association of Accountable Care Organization's (NAACOS) Policy Committee, co-lead of  Accountable for Health's Specialty Care Committee, and on the Board of Moving Health Home.

I have a long-held passion for innovative policies and perspectives that may improve the care and lives of complex and seriously ill populations through aligned payment and policy incentives. I believe PTs and OTs are the most under-valued members of the traditional care team and that these professions are at one of the most critical inflection points in their existence. Value-based care and other at-risk organizations need their expertise to be successful in managing a much larger breadth of the population at pivotal points in the care journey (upstream and downstream), starting in advanced primary care. I'm on a mission to help these professions succeed in a new paradigm of healthcare.
