Consulting Manager & Business DevelopmentEmerson Nagle
President
I have spent my entire 15-year career within the staffing and recruiting industry, working with healthcare professionals of all levels. Specializing in developing businesses and building teams, KPG offered me the opportunity to create something from a blank canvas and thus, KPG Provider Services was born. Knowledgeable service, transparency, fair rates, solution-based thinking, pragmatism, don’t have to be lost in today’s service. My mission became creating the most talented team that could bring an unparalleled service to California’s organizations and providers. I am an animal lover, exercise and health enthusiast, traveling enthusiast and a Carlsbad native. Contact me with feedback or questions on our services.
Natasha Grundeis
Sr Director
The great environment, surrounded by great people, helping providers find better positions, and serving as a resource to candidates and clients are all the reasons why I enjoy my position. My goal is to make good deals and build relationships in order to offer the best possible service. In my spare time I enjoy horseback riding.
Matt Andres
Vice President
I like the people I work with. We rely on each other heavily to get top results. Without them I couldn’t do what I do. Details and extensive follow up are essential, and lots of coffee. I like watches, secondhand books and Cuban coffee.
Pablo Di Carlo
Director
I love my job because I get the opportunity to help providers every day by making positive differences in their lives. This can be by increasing their overall compensation or helping them attain a better work/life balance. Being a great consultant means understanding a provider’s perfect work scenario and going above and beyond to achieve it. Taking time to understand each individual’s goals and career path is a key component. I am ambidextrous and can write perfectly with both hands!
Samantha Chessman
Sr Consulting Manager & Business Development
My job is a breeze because I have the absolute best team in the world. When I’m working with a provider I explore every possibility to reach the greatest outcome in every situation. If we work together, you can bet on us finding your dream job – only better! A fun fact is I was voted best smile in high school – give me a call to discuss opportunities and you might be able to see it through the phone!
Becca Frumkin
Sr Consulting Manager & Business Development
I like my job because no two days are the exact same, it presents challenges and I am able to make a positive impact on people’s lives. I am focused on building relationships, getting results and making things happen. I can do a back flip.
Cody Villamaino
Sr Consulting Manager & Business Development
I enjoy learning about the unique talents of each provider I work with and finding them the best opportunity to utilize those talents to realize their full potential. As a former clinician, I have a keen ability to understand a provider’s concerns, interests, and objectives. This allows me to make great matches that are beneficial to everyone. A fun fact about me — I completed the Escape from Alcatraz Aquathlon.
Stephanie Colbert
Consulting Manager & Business Development
I enjoy helping providers find their ideal employment situations. Physicians and Advanced Practitioners contribute so much to society, so it feels good to be able to assist them in finding their dream jobs. Being a part of a great team makes this process even more enjoyable. I’m an animal lover, and in my spare time I like going to the beach and hiking.
Alexis Patton
Consulting Manager & Business Development
I thrive in an environment where I am given the autonomy to help the individuals and larger organizations in which it can serve. I understand the difficulties of being faced with a growing nation-wide physician shortage. I love my job because every day I get to use my problem-solving skills to figure out solutions to these problems. The greatest part of my job is being able to work for a company where I feel my hard work and dedication are going to benefit entire organizations, communities, providers, and ultimately the patients that we can serve when we work together! KPG is truly an amazing place to be.
Sammie Lampley
Consultant
Every day is different here and that excites me. KPG gives me the opportunity to make a difference in healthcare, helping physicians fill needs with hospitals in need, I love learning about each individual provider and their specific talents, learning new things every day! The environment here at KPG showcases how teamwork along with self-motivation creates success. When I am not working I enjoy lifting weights, hiking and spending time with my 3 dogs.
Chanelle Gonzalez
Sr Consultant
Being a Consultant at KPG combines my interest in the Healthcare industry, and my love for helping for people. Getting to work alongside every hardworking member of this team, to help our Providers in any and every way we possibly can is incredibly rewarding. Being raised on the West Coast, gave me the ability to relate to Southern California Based Provider’s geographically. But it was my east coast Boston roots that allowed me understand the core importance of healthcare in the life science, and research industry. I enjoy building relationships, spending time with family and friends, and the New England Patriots, GO Brady!
Seth Nelson
Consultant
KPG gives me the opportunity to connect with intelligent, compassionate caregivers and place them in clinics and hospitals where their talent makes a difference in the lives of patients. In my free time, I enjoy reading, writing, films, and hiking.
Taylor Dougherty
Consulting Manager & Business Development
You always hear about the jobs that don’t feel like work and that people enjoy doing every day. That is what you find here at KPG.
A career at KPG goes beyond the norm. My job never has a dull moment and I love that I have found a career that keeps me engaged 100% of the time. I love working in a fun, positive, and encouraging environment with the best team. I enjoy meeting and working with new clients and helping them with their staffing needs. Every client brings a different situation and opportunity to the table. In my free time I enjoy going to concerts, traveling and spending time with friends and family.
Kenny Wisniewski
Consulting Manager & Business Development
What I love about my job is getting to find new opportunities for a candidate that fits what they are looking for in order to help them succeed both professionally and in their personal life. While doing so, I am helping a facility find coverage for their patients and potentially foster a long-term partnership. I represent both the provider as well as the facility and I would be honored to make an introduction for you. In my personal time, I like to cycle, watch sports, and spend time with my wife, son and 3 dogs.
Yorick Vega
Operations Manager
The main reason I like my job is the environment I get to be in. The office is a place where everyone can be themselves and make things happen. The resources and the guidance that the managers and coworkers provide makes it a great environment. I live on a ranch with over 20 animals.
Ricardo Salgado
Operations Coordinator
There is never a dull day as Operations Assistant with KPG. Our office culture is inclusive to all walks of life and a great asset that is hard to find. Working with a group of individuals that share similar passions and unique interests has been a heart-warming experience. When I am not working at KPG I enjoy hiking with my dogs Raven and Pepper.
Leticia Brewster
Credentialing Manager
Credentialing is typically viewed as a check-the-box regulatory burden, but it is more than that here at KPG. It is about getting to know the provider, developing a relationship and finding ways to make the process stress-free. Generally, providers need to engage in a tedious, paper-based credentialing process before granted privileges. I love my job because this burden is greatly reduced with the help of me and my team! Also, through credentialing, patients are assured of their healthcare professional’s merit and experience which is important to me. When I am not assisting providers navigate the credentialing process, I am home sketching or at an art gallery.
Evelyn Mendoza
Credentialing Coordinator
I enjoy working in credentialing because not only do I have the opportunity to help our providers by taking a little bit of the weight off through every step, but I also get to help the patients by making sure that our providers are appropriately credentialed to help them to the best of their ability. My goal is to always make the credentialing process as smooth as possible for our providers. Fun Fact: I really enjoy being outdoors and going on nature walks.
Shannin Williams
Payroll & Billing Manager
One thing that I love about my job is the environment that I work in and the people I get to work with. Fun fact about me is that my mom name me Shannin with an I because I was born on an (Irish) Holiday -Saint Patrick’s Day and I’ve also done Payroll for 7 years.
Seraphina O'Leary
Payroll and Billing Specialist
What I love about my job is that every day is a new adventure. There hasn’t been a day that I’ve been bored. Also, everyone is always happy and friendly which is a huge plus. A fun fact about me is I love puzzles. I will finish 1,000 pieces of puzzles in less than a week, so I have to increase the pieces to 5,000. I am running out of space in my house.
