Employee Highlight

Why are you in healthcare?

I grew up surrounded by healthcare. My father is a surgical physician’s assistant and my mom has always worked clerical duties in doctors’ offices and nursing homes. I could never handle the medical side of it all so when I went into business I thought I was straying away from the healthcare path. DAS is the place where business and health care intersect, and I knew it was the place I was looking for all along.

I love that every day is different and that there is a good balance of analytics and creativity.
