Resourceful, enthusiastic, and progress-driven professional with 20+ years experience in orthopedics encompassing administrative and direct patient care roles. Extensive track record of building new practices from ground up, implementing programs, policies, and procedures, and contributing to consistent growth and profitability. I have been the practice administrator for multiple orthopedic physician practices and the practice administrator for an Imaging center. Before that I worked in the hospital setting for Dallas Rehabilitation Institute and then for Healthsouth Rehabilitation Hospital in Dallas, Texas. I have also worked as a licensed athletic trainer in a variety of clinical settings. I am certified to do functional capacity evaluation, impairment ratings, fit for duty testing as well as pre-employment and post-employment testing. I was the therapist for the City of Mesquite, TX and held that position for 10 years.
