In 2005, she started her professional career as a staff accountant for an outpatient substance use disorder network. Heather quickly developed a passion for the industry and its operations. She gained an interest in the insurance billing aspect of the business and soon grew into the Director of Finance role overseeing the financial functions of the organization.
