Michelle Cutugno

I’ve always worked in healthcare settings, wanting to be part of an industry that was focused on helping people, but after the death of my father in 2009, my relationship with healthcare changed. Prior to his death, I was content to work on the business side in various financial and management roles. I’m well organized, analytical and a problem solver by nature and there was never any shortage of available positions as I made my way up the career ladder. After moving to Portland in the early 90’s I added a post-baccalaureate certificate in accounting to my existing psychology degree in an effort to legitimize myself as I pursued healthcare finance roles.
