She has strong skills in accounts receivable, payable, medical billing, customer service, and computer systems including IDX and Epic.

Accessing disability benefits like SSI and SSDI is important for helping people re-enter the community from institutional settings by providing housing, income, and health insurance. However, the application process is difficult and approval rates are low, especially for those with mental illness or substance abuse disorders. The SOAR model actively assists applicants and focuses on properly documenting disabilities, resulting in approval rates over 90% for initial applications. Key aspects of the SOAR model include comprehensive staff training, close collaboration between case managers and medical providers, and focusing on getting the initial application right to avoid lengthy appeals processes. Proper implementation of the SOAR model can expedite access to important entitlement benefits in a cost-effective way.
