My previous in-house counsel experience in the healthcare industry helps me appreciate my clients’ business priorities and the importance of leveraging every resource available to achieve their goals. I also have a unique understanding of how implementing a new initiative or policy impacts the various departments within the organization and their day-to-day operations. I take a practical approach to the work I handle for my clients and always consider their individual risk tolerances and business strategies. Every individual agreement or project makes an impact on the overall goal of the client and the ability to effectively serve their patients.
