I planned on a career in sports marketing.  It took an awful and expensive healthcare experience right after graduating college (Go Buffs!) that I made the decision to go from Nike to Blue Cross Blue Shield of Nevada. 
 
I am equal parts healthcare strategist, innovator and entrepreneur.  Just as important, I am also a passport stamper, college football fanatic and in some incredibly small circles known as DJ Notorious R.I.G.
 
As a strategist, I am unable to accept complacency and have an innate need to challenge the status quo.  I led corporate, business and market strategy efforts for Kaiser Permanente.  As an innovator, I am in constant pursuit of annoying problems to solve in new ways.  I served as chief innovation officer for Blue Cross Blue Shield.  As an entrepreneur, I am bold enough to step out on ambition, yet humble to surround myself with people who fill my many gaps.  I co-founded bambü.  As a mom and board member of several non-profits, I am protective of the matters of the heart.  Period. 
 
I am bringing all of this to go after healthcare with a wild abandon. If you’re down with the cause, consider yourself a member of my tribe.
