I am the Chief Operating Officer at Vallis Mental Health. I graduated from the Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2019 with a Doctorate in Osteopathic Medicine (DO). I completed my Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Troy University that same year. I graduated from Athens State University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and Chemistry with a minor in Healthcare Management. I completed my orthopedic surgery residency through the University of South Florida and HCA in St. Petersburg/Tampa, FL in June 2024. I will continue my orthopedic surgical training at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Adult Reconstruction and Limb Preservation fellowship beginning 08/2024.

 

My experience in the medical and surgery field provides me with a unique approach to process improvement and efficiency. My MBA has provided me with a foundational business and leadership education. I use my life experiences and education to coordinate with the front office staff, patient services assistants, clinicians, management, and CEO to improve administrative and operational duties so our team can provide the highest quality care to our patients.
