I’ve always been interested in working with others to solve complex problems. At a younger age I thought medical school was that path, but over time I realized I had an interest in population-health level impacts. I saw the impact policy had on my community, so I learned more about it. That led to experiences and education in healthcare finance, policy, and engineering, which equipped me with useful tools to dig into complex healthcare challenges.
The passion of the people across the firm. Sellers Dorsey has done a phenomenal job of bringing together the best and brightest across healthcare and data analytics to focus on one mission. That makes for a special workplace. It is very exciting to be part of something like that.
At Sellers Dorsey, I think it means continuing to go above and beyond to support our clients as they work to positively affect our communities through healthcare and wellbeing. The firm serves clients from across the country, in both rural and urban environments. These providers are often the largest employer in our communities and are local economic drivers, equating millions of dollars of investments in community benefits. That’s really what healthcare impact is; as access and outcomes improve, they create downstream effects that improve the lives of people in so many different ways. Here at Sellers Dorsey, we support those efforts to bring that positive impact to our communities.
No superpowers. No kryptonite. Just a nerd for absorbing anything and everything in the healthcare industry.
I am excited for the work we are doing to continue supporting our clients’ needs in the years to come. We’ve been developing new capabilities to enhance the client experience and provide new service offerings that will be coming in 2026. We recently added our new healthcare data and analytics platform, Constyn, to provide data insights and support population health management strategies clients need.
By design, the impacts of H.R.1 are cumulative, so I think it is beneficial to look at both the short and the long term. While provisions of the law impact key stakeholders differently, I think there are important changes in federal cost containment that everyone needs to understand. I’m concerned about some of the more immediate challenges states and providers are facing with state budget reductions and rising healthcare costs. State Medicaid leaders are very sharp and have had the challenges of budget reductions in the past, but the intensity of it this time matched with the cumulative changes creates a new paradigm. Many of our top subject matter experts across the firm have been convening and developing new strategies we believe can support providers and states as industry changes continue to take effect. The new service offerings aim to help our providers/clients through both the short and long term as they are developed with a framework of sustainability.
The ability to work with clients and teams to address complex challenges in healthcare. When we are able to help frontline providers serve their communities, it is exciting and worthwhile.
The biggest opportunities for enhancing healthcare quality and access over the next few years will require a new level of collaborative efforts across the delivery system to improve value to the patient, sustainability for the provider, and predictability for the payor/purchaser. As healthcare stakeholders adjust to changing environmental factors, their focus must remain on improving the health of the community. I think new efforts in value-based care will emerge that prioritize improvements in healthcare quality and access to care.
I spent a good part of my childhood speaking Korean, living in Seoul, South Korea.
BBQ. I like to grill and spend time outdoors with my family
I love to read and watch movies. Most of my favorite movies have a musical score developed by amazing film composers like Hans Zimmer or John Williams. I recently rewatched one of my favorite movies, Inception, and really enjoyed how well the music helped drive the story.
