Anita’s Disclosures
I am a researcher at heart. I have been called a “human blood hound” because I will “sniff” out an issue exhausting as many resources as I can find related to the issue or topic.
I am detail oriented, inquisitive, and not afraid to try something new. My expertise in healthcare is wide and deep allowing me to bring a variety of experiences and knowledge to the business table. I believe in thoroughly researching an issue, documenting the source of the information, and having skills to present findings in a professional and scholastic manner
