She led OIG’s administrative litigation and exclusion program, established enforcement priorities, and oversaw OIG’s self-disclosure protocol.

As a compliance authority, she signed, negotiated, monitored, and enforced OIG’s CIAs. This sophisticated knowledge helps clients establish compliance programs and identify vulnerabilities to protect healthcare organizations from fraud liability.
