✨ Grateful. Honored. A little nervous—but proud. ✨

I had the honor of being interviewed for MedOffice by ClaimTek, and I’m so thankful for the opportunity to share my experience and insights in medical billing and revenue cycle management.

I won’t lie—I was definitely nervous 😬 stepping in front of the camera, but growth doesn’t happen in comfort. Every opportunity like this reminds me why I do what I do and how important it is to keep showing up, learning, and sharing knowledge with others in this industry.

Huge thank you to the ClaimTek / MedOffice team for the opportunity and for creating tools that support providers and billing professionals every day.

Here’s to pushing past nerves, embracing growth, and saying yes to opportunities that stretch you. 💙

The Vision

This building doesn’t exist yet—but it’s real to me.
Real in purpose. Real in intention. Real in faith.

Every late night, every setback, every moment I questioned myself still pointed me here. Not just to a building, but to what it represents: growth, stability, service, and legacy.

This vision is bigger than success.
It’s about creating something that lasts.
Something that serves people with excellence.
Something built from resilience, integrity, and belief.

I’ve learned that visions don’t arrive fully formed—they’re built brick by brick, decision by decision, prayer by prayer. What you see here is a reminder to keep going even when progress feels quiet. Especially then.

One day, this won’t just be a rendering or a dream—it will be doors opening, lives changing, and proof that staying the course matters.

Until then, I work. I believe. I build.

This is The Vision. And I’m walking toward it—every single day.

Behind the scenes doesn’t mean standing still.

I’ve been focused on building—developing specialized medical billing and revenue cycle training, strengthening internal systems, and preparing my company for the next phase of growth.

At the same time, I’m actively positioning for government contracting opportunities, with SBA 8(a) and EDWOSB applications currently in review and ongoing preparation for GSA MAS.

Growth requires preparation before opportunity.
I’m committed to doing the work now so I’m ready when the door opens.

It’s the first Monday back after the holidays.
And while many practices are focused on patient volume,
Q1 is actually where most revenue mistakes quietly begin.

Here are 3 things we see every January that end up costing practices all year:

🔹 Insurance updates not fully verified
(New plans, terminations, deductible resets—miss one and denials spike)

🔹 Old authorization workflows reused
(2025 rules ≠ 2026 rules)

🔹 “We’ll clean it up later” billing mindset
(Q1 claims set the tone for cash flow the rest of the year)

The practices that stay ahead don’t work harder—
they tighten their revenue cycle early.

We put together a short resource on what to review at the start of the year to protect cash flow and clean-claim rates.

✨ New Training Programs | Built With Intention, Structure, and Real Support ✨

I’m excited to share that I’ve been putting a tremendous amount of time, thought, and care into developing my upcoming healthcare billing training programs.

These are not quick, surface-level courses.

Each training is intentionally structured to provide a complete learning experience, including:
• In-depth instructor-led training sessions
• Interactive workshops and real-world scenarios
• Breakout room activities to apply concepts in real time
• Quizzes and gradable knowledge checks
• Guided discussions and Q&A
• Practical examples that reflect how billing works in the real world

Every class is designed to go beyond slides. My goal is to help participants understand the “why,” not just the “what,” and to build confidence in their skills—whether they’re new to the field or expanding into specialty areas.

I’m taking my time with these programs because I truly care about the people who enroll. When someone signs up for one of my classes, they’re not just getting information—they’re getting support, structure, and intentional instruction designed to help them do their very best on their professional journey.

If you’re looking for training that is:
✔ Thoughtfully built
✔ Interactive and engaging
✔ Rooted in real-world application
✔ Focused on learning, not rushing

Then I’m excited to welcome you.

More details coming soon. I’m proud of what’s being built—and even more excited about who it’s going to help. 🤍
