Executive profile

17+ years in PBM analytics

I’m a senior healthcare analytics leader with more than 17 years supporting PBM underwriting, including formulary-based drug utilization projections, rebate forecasting support, client pricing and network strategy. I’ve partnered with Pricing, Sales, Product, Clinical, Finance and executive teams to help them understand client impact, utilization shifts, financial opportunity and risk.

I’ve also spent much of my career building and leading analytics teams. I believe people do their best work when expectations are clear, they understand why the work matters, and they have room to think for themselves.

Since Prime

Why I took time away from corporate work.

After leaving Prime Therapeutics in 2024, I took time away from corporate work to help my husband build his business and to figure out what I wanted to do next.

I realized I missed PBM analytics: the data, the problem-solving, the people, and the work of helping teams make better decisions.

I’m ready to get back to PBM analytics and the work I know well and genuinely enjoy.
Education

Business and psychology.

My MBA gave me a stronger foundation in business and finance. My psychology background has been just as useful in leading teams, mentoring people and working across departments.
