Medical Support in various ways.

Oct 2013 - Oct 2014
Program Manager
Led a team that managed the crossover of information and documentation between the US Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Defense in order to process military retirement and VA disability claims at the Disability Rating Activity Site (DRAS) in Seattle. This was in support of the Integrated Disability Evaluation System. We used the Safe Access File Exchange (SAFE) computer system to transfer over 50,000 pieces of information between the Physical Evaluation Boards (PEB) across the country to the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA). We helped to reduce the backlog of disability claims by 44% between March 2013-2014 and reduced the amount of time it took to review and transfer documents by 80% in the first 5 months of the project.
