I partner with data and business leaders in healthcare, specifically within Blue Cross Blue Shield plans on the West Coast. As an account executive at SAS, my goal is to clarify organizational objectives and provide insights into advanced analytics solutions that help executives make data driven decisions. With over 9 years of experience working across the healthcare industry, I’ve developed a unique skill set in solving complex problems and aligning stakeholders from diverse departments. This experience has taught me how to bridge gaps and bring people together to address the full range of needs and challenges facing healthcare today.But there’s more to my story beyond healthcare:Travel: Travel is my passion and lifelong pursuit. Every year, since college, I’ve made it a goal to explore new countries, learning something fresh with each trip. I’ve developed an obsession for finding deals using points, miles, and rewards to make travel affordable and rewarding. From planning annual snowboarding trips to friend group journeys abroad, I’ve mastered the art of travel hacking to unlock unforgettable experiences around the world. I love seeing the impact travel has had on my friends, family and others I’ve helped guide to create experiences for.Investing: This is something that’s been a passion since I was 23 in learning about public companies and emerging companies with the potential to shape the future. Staying updated on up-and-coming businesses and growth opportunities is something I’m all about. I enjoy talking the importance of investing early for compounding and the many lessons you can learn outside of just financial gains from this. Networking and Community: In Charlotte, I lead a networking group for creative, hard-working individuals who are committed to shaping the future with their ventures. Our group is a space for collaboration, new ideas, and meaningful connections with other driven professionals.This diverse background in healthcare, travel, investing, networking, and much more gives me a unique perspective on helping people connect the dots. Whether it’s supporting healthcare organizations in their digital transformation or collaborating with like-minded individuals to build something great.If you’re interested in leveraging data and analytics in healthcare, discussing investment strategies, or swapping travel hacks and stories, feel free to connect. I’d love to chat!
