You will find that I have extensive senior leadership and executive level management experience along with all aspects of sales and marketing experience, primarily in the Health Care industry. I was also directly involved with the implementation of all new EMR, CRM, accounting and other IT related software and cloud based platforms for all of our new partners and physicians from a project management position. As an Administrator there was a high emphasis on revenue generating activities, sales and marketing for our corporate offices and practices were key; along with building and nurturing partnerships with referring practices, patients, and the community.
For the past year I had an opportunity to return home, to Oregon, while my husband traveled abroad for most of 2010. I continued my employment with ModernMed until the company was restructured and working remotely was no longer an option. I continue to have a great relationship with all former co-workers and President / CEO of the company. I am now returning to Scottsdale, AZ and am seeking a career opportunity that will allow me to utilize my experience, knowledge and skill set while to continuing to grow and challenge myself. My return to the area will be dependent on that career opportunity, however I am flexible. My current employment will end on March 31, 2011, allowing me relocate once a position has been secured. In the interim, I am available to conduct preliminary interviews via phone, or web-meeting and am also available to travel for in person interviews as requested.
