Prior to that role she was president of Broadspire's disability business, where she managed Disability Claims, including short-term disability (STD), long-term disability (LTD), and Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Her responsibilities also included Field Case Management, Physician Review and Behavioral Health services, as well as sales and account management for those products. Her career with Broadspire began in 1982, when she joined as a claims adjuster.
