Admissions Specialist

Hi there! I'm passionate about transforming how healthcare is paid for and making it more affordable. At Lantern, I help companies give their employees access to high quality, affordable specialty care.

My approach is all about being authentic, curious, and genuinely caring. Building trust and long-lasting relationships with benefits leaders who are tackling the challenges of healthcare costs is what I do best.

Outside of work, I’m an advocate for mental health awareness, neurodiversity, and work-life balance. I've had my share of ups and downs, including a tough period of unemployment, which taught me resilience and self-awareness. These experiences drive my passion for creating supportive, employee-centric cultures.

Let’s connect and explore how we can make a real impact in healthcare and workplace well-being. Always open to meaningful conversations and new ideas.
