I have extensive experience in challenging environments that range from a small, yet high volume clinician’s office in my hometown of New Orleans, LA to more than 5 years at a firm that ranked 20 on Fortune’s 500 list in 2008. By nature, I am efficient and strive for accuracy in everything I do. I approach every business situation with professionalism, integrity and confidentiality. I would love to discuss your personal business needs with you.
