Tell us about your professional journey since graduating and a little about your current position.
I’m an Associate General Counsel to business lines across Optum, a wholly owned subsidiary of United Health Group, specifically within Optum Health. I’m privileged to advise business lines and clients that provide industry leading health products and services (both digital and non-digital) that impact daily life. I love the variety of questions I receive each day and Optum’s fast paced environment.
How did the Health Law Institute help prepare you for the work you do now?
I wouldn’t be where I am without mentors and individuals who graciously give of their time, knowledge, and resources. The Health Law Institute gave me the skills and experiences to succeed in a health law career and laid the groundwork for creating a network of professionals who I still keep in contact with today.
What inspires you?
I’m inspired by the incredible professionals on my team that leverage their decades of experience to not only provide excellent legal advice to clients, but also instruct and mentor the next generation of lawyers. My colleagues demonstrate that it is possible to balance (and prioritize) family while simultaneously leading a cutting-edge industry.
