1)   How did you get started in project management?

I began my start in project management at Centene Corporation in 2017. I managed various pilots for my team, in hopes these pilots would be successful and scalable across the country.

2)   What is your favorite project that you worked on or would like to work on?

My favorite project is the Provider Accessibility Initiative. Providers across the country must be ADA accessible for our member with disabilities, and their companions that accompany them to the office visit. My role is to make sure that all stakeholders are set up for success, and ensure that everyone has the appropriate training, and resources needed so that our members have equal access to quality healthcare.

3)   What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?

The most reporting aspect of my job is building relationships across various departments. Also, I enjoy being able to measure success knowing that the progress made impacts the company’s bottom line.

4)   Where do you see yourself professionally in the next 3-5 years?

In the next 3-5 years, I see myself in a Director position at Centene Corporation. I hope to leverage the relationships I’m building today to grow my team, skillset, and knowledge of healthcare.

5)  Who is a leader that you admire and why?

A leader I admire is Sarah Triano, Senior Director of Policy and Innovation at Centene Corporation. She is a strong disability advocate who has pushed me to identify my strengths in project management, and become an advocate for the people who are impacted by my projects. One of Sarah’s strengths is the gift of storytelling, which is being able to persuade anyone at any leadership level, and receive buy in on projects that affect ROI and impact to the community.
