Q: What drew you to Strata Health?
A: Marmmett Horton. After 15 years practicing physical therapy, I was ready for a change. My sights were set on customer success, and I wanted to stay in healthcare. It was hard to leave the clinic. Marmmett had a similar journey, and I knew she would be a great mentor for the transition. Shortly after being hired, I realized I hit the jackpot, as our company culture fully aligns with my values and goals.
Q: How long have you been with the company?
A: A year and a half.
Q: What does your job entail?
A: The day is filled with managing technical issues, training end-users, meetings and working on best practices for our US team. However, I like to think of what I do as investigative work. I try to figure out where there is an opportunity for growth and with whom we can have those discussions. To do this, I must be clear on the client’s internal process and the challenges they encounter.
Q: What do you think sets you apart in your field?
A: Building mutual trust with clients. My specialty in physical therapy was persistent pain. Tissue injury is rarely the culprit for chronic pain. These patients are often shuffled around the medical system without explanations. By the time they came to me they were frustrated by lack of answers, scared for their future and understandably guarded. It takes time but gaining their trust was pivotal to making an impact. This is true for any client facing role.
Q: What challenges have you faced in your career?
A: Next steps. I have never been one to settle, always seeking more learning and growth opportunities. My challenge has always been which path to take.
Q: Tell us about a professional success story that you’re proud of.
A: Fortunately, there were many as a clinician so I would like to answer as a Strata Health CSM. Recently, a client of ours had some issues with posting Medicare mandated forms to the right patient visit. It occurred to me that others were encountering the same issue but unaware. It propagated resolution across our client base ensuring compliance standards are met.
Q: What is the best advice you’ve ever received?
A: “This too shall pass” – my Dad would say this when I was younger and in the moment it never helped. With time those difficult feelings always lessened, he was right.
Q: How would your best friend describe you in three words?
A: Social, thoughtful, and fun!
Q: Tell us a surprising or fun fact about you.
A: I used to gallop and jump fences on horses. A bit of a thrill seeker! I miss those days.
