Her career in the healthcare sector started in March 2003 when she joined Qualsa Healthcare, the managed care arm of Metropolitan Health Group (MHG), as a health statistician. In August 2005, she was promoted to the senior statistician position; a role that required her to oversee all statistical analysis done by the Decision Support Systems (DSS) unit.
