Education:
I received my Certified Provider Credentialing Specialist certification by the National Association Medical Staff Services in 2012 and have been recertified continually since. I am involved with the Washington Association Medical Staff Services and have served in several leadership roles, including President from 2015-18. To further my education, I am currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Healthcare Management. For fun, I enjoy riding the countryside on my Harley-Davidson Road King.

Experience:
My work experience started in 2003 for a Community Health Center, and I took the role of a Credentialing Specialist in 2006. To further my knowledge, I became a Medical Staff Coordinator at Yakima Regional Medical Center in 2008. In 2011, I felt a calling to work with Family Medicine Residents and became part of the Community Health of Central Washington Family.

I aspire to:
Teach our residents the tools needed to complete the Credentialing and Privileging process when they leave to enter independent practice. I enjoy working with a diverse team who interest and inspire me. I am team-oriented and build off the energy of others with my contagious enthusiasm.
