Healthcare Analytics & Data Science
I help healthcare organizations find the signal in fraud, waste, and abuse data — combining an actuarial foundation with hands-on data science to turn messy claims data into decisions people can act on.
Background
My path here wasn't linear. I started as a high school math teacher before moving into actuarial work at Lockton in 2018, earning my ASA credential in 2022 while working a mixed actuarial and data science role. That eventually gave way to a full-time shift into data science, where I spent 7.5 years total at Lockton — most recently as Lead Data Scientist — building the quantitative foundation I still rely on today.
In May 2026, I stepped into a new challenge as Director of Account Management & Analytics Advisor at Smartlight Analytics, a healthcare payment integrity company, leading client strategy and analytics for large, sophisticated client accounts.
I'm based in Plano, TX, and I care about analytics that actually gets used — not just modeled. Outside my core role, I build small tools and prototypes to sharpen that instinct further; a few are below.
