What would you say are the most rewarding aspects of your work?

I enjoy working with people and helping them achieve their goals. In my current role, not only have I grown so much, but I’ve been able to influence others in a positive way, which is truly rewarding for me. Even when I find myself spending my day working in front of the computer, I know that what I’m doing as part of the clinical team is valuable to the overall improvement of the patient experience.

You mentioned improving the patient experience. Is collaboration a part of that?

We get to see how the health care system works firsthand, so, we’re encouraged to share ideas and share how we can help providers and members easily navigate the system. I’m frequently able to tap into the expertise in my network, reaching out to colleagues in different departments to help resolve issues. I appreciate that everyone here is so willing to help when needed. It’s a pleasure to work with such talented and passionate people.
