Over the course of my career, I've transitioned from hands-on physical therapy to directing complex healthcare operations across multiple disciplines. As Senior Director of Operations at Westside, I currently oversee operations for multi-disciplinary pediatric therapy clinics, ensuring their financial success and the seamless delivery of exceptional care. My academic foundation, with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Northwestern University and an MBA from Loyola University, has bolstered my capacity to excel in diverse healthcare environments.What sets me apart is my adaptability; successfully shifting my skills from human healthcare to animal healthcare, managing the operations of 56 veterinary hospitals across 13 states. This transition wasn't merely about leveraging my operational knowledge but more so about understanding the unique nuances of each domain.In every role, whether it was refining clinician schedules for optimum patient care at Northwestern Medicine or overseeing a rapid expansion at CareVet Health, I've consistently sought ways to elevate operational efficiencies and patient satisfaction. My most rewarding moments, however, come from developing others, watching them grow and succeed, and collectively driving the success of the company.As I look ahead, my focus is on adaptability, embracing challenges beyond healthcare, and continually pushing the boundaries of operational excellence.If you share a passion for healthcare operations, physical therapy, or forward-thinking leadership, I’d be thrilled to connect with you.
