Aubrie Cunningham’s plan to be a clinical health care professional changed course when she took a health care informatics class at Drexel University in Philadelphia and became fascinated with health care data and analytics. She went on to get her master’s degree in health care administration from St. Joseph’s University and began working in customer service for MedRisk in 2013.
What’s your advice on navigating the current insurance market?
Be a disruptor. Look for new, out-of-the-box ways to be better, more efficient, more effective. The mindset of the industry has shifted to innovation, and everyone is much more open-minded to new ideas, so it’s about taking advantage of that.
How are technological advances affecting your job?
They drive our day-to-day decision-making. We rely so heavily on emerging and advancing technologies and incorporating those into our business model. Being able to evaluate past trends, see real-time data and predict future outcomes has completely changed the way we operate.
What do you wish more people knew about insurance?
It’s very rewarding. From the workers comp side, everything we do is centered around the injured worker. Understanding how you’re helping this person get back to work, or to the life they had before getting injured, can be such a rewarding experience.
What’s something about you that would surprise people?
I have a really adventurous side. I have been lucky enough to experience a lot of once-in-a-lifetime opportunities with my family and I am always looking for the next thing to check off our bucket list.
Favorite song?
Anything by Billy Joel. My 3-year-old daughter now requests “Uptown Girl” whenever we are in the car.
