Her Story
About Skyley
As Manager of Physician Revenue Integrity at INTEGRIS Health, I am passionate about improving the financial health of healthcare organizations so providers can focus on what matters most: caring for patients.
My career has been built at the intersection of healthcare operations, physician revenue cycle, compliance, and process improvement. I lead initiatives that strengthen revenue integrity, reduce administrative burden, enhance regulatory compliance, and create sustainable operational excellence across the physician enterprise. I believe that meaningful change happens through collaboration, continuous learning, and a commitment to doing the right thing for patients, providers, and the communities we serve.
I am especially proud to be a first-generation college graduate and recipient of a Master of Healthcare Administration and Policy from the University of Oklahoma. Earning my MHA taught me that leadership is not defined by a title but by the ability to serve others, inspire growth, and create opportunities for those around you.
Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to lead transformational initiatives, mentor emerging leaders, contribute to industry conversations on revenue cycle strategy, and collaborate with talented teams dedicated to advancing healthcare. My mission is simple: leave every process, every team, and every organization better than I found it.
I believe that when we approach our work with purpose, gratitude, and a clear vision of what's possible, we naturally attract the people, opportunities, and outcomes needed to make a lasting impact.

Ten minutes with Skyley
01What do you attribute your success to?
My success reflects God's grace and faithfulness. As a first-generation college graduate and healthcare leader, there were many moments when the road ahead seemed uncertain. Through every challenge, my faith reminded me to trust the process, stay resilient, and keep moving forward.
I believe God opens doors, but it is our responsibility to walk through them with courage, integrity, and a willingness to learn. I am incredibly grateful for the family, mentors, colleagues, and friends who have supported me along the way. Their encouragement, combined with my faith, has inspired me to pursue excellence while remaining grounded in service to others.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I've ever received came from my mentor, Brandi Payton. She once told me that women who look like us haven't always had a seat at the table. As Cherokee women, that message carried even greater meaning. It was a reminder that the opportunities we have today were made possible by those who came before us, and that we have a responsibility to continue paving the way for those who will come after us.
Through her example, she showed me that excellence is important, but visibility matters too. She encouraged me to share my work, engage professionally, and build a presence both within my organization and through professional networks. Her message wasn't about seeking recognition; it was about ensuring our voices, perspectives, and contributions are part of the conversation.
As trailblazers in our own right, she taught me that it isn't enough to simply have a seat at the table. We must use that seat to create opportunities for others, elevate diverse perspectives, and make it easier for the next generation of women leaders to be seen, heard, and valued. That advice gave me the confidence to step into leadership opportunities, advocate for myself and others, and embrace the responsibility that comes with being visible.
Today, I carry that lesson with me in every role I serve, striving not only to succeed personally but to open doors for others along the way.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
My advice to young women entering healthcare is to embrace every opportunity to learn, even if it feels outside your comfort zone. Some of the most meaningful growth in my career came from saying "yes" to opportunities before I felt completely ready and trusting that God would equip me for the journey ahead.
Find mentors who will challenge you, advocate for you, and help you see potential in yourself that you may not yet recognize. I have been blessed with mentors who encouraged me to step into leadership opportunities and reminded me that my perspective matters.
As a Cherokee woman, I also recognize that many of us are still creating paths that did not always exist for those who came before us. Don't be afraid to take up space, share your ideas, and make your contributions visible. Your voice deserves to be heard, and your experiences bring value to the table.
Most importantly, stay grounded in your values and remember that success is not just about personal achievement. It's about lifting others as you climb, opening doors for the next generation, and using your influence to create positive change. Trust God's timing, work hard, remain teachable, and lead with integrity. When you do, your impact will extend far beyond any title or position you hold.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
One of the biggest challenges in healthcare today is navigating constant change while continuing to provide high-quality care and a positive patient experience. Regulatory requirements, reimbursement models, technology, and workforce dynamics are evolving rapidly, requiring healthcare organizations to be more agile than ever before.
At the same time, I believe one of our greatest opportunities is leveraging technology and data to improve outcomes for patients, providers, and healthcare organizations. From automation and artificial intelligence to advanced analytics, we have the ability to reduce administrative burden, strengthen compliance, improve financial sustainability, and allow caregivers to focus more time on patient care.
As a leader in Revenue Integrity, I see tremendous opportunity in bringing people together across departments to solve complex problems and create more efficient, patient-centered processes. The future of healthcare will belong to organizations that embrace innovation while never losing sight of their mission to serve others.
On a personal level, I believe this is also an opportunity for more women and underrepresented leaders to help shape the future of healthcare. Diverse perspectives lead to better decisions, stronger organizations, and more innovative solutions.
Through it all, I trust that God is guiding the work we do. While healthcare faces significant challenges, I remain optimistic about the future and the impact we can make when we lead with purpose, collaboration, and a commitment to serving.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The values that matter most to me, both professionally and personally, are faith, integrity, service, and continuous growth.
My faith in God is the foundation for everything I do. It guides how I lead, how I treat others, and how I approach challenges and opportunities. I believe we are called to use our gifts to serve others, and that perspective has shaped both my career and personal life.
Integrity is equally important to me. I strive to do the right thing, even when it is difficult, and to lead with honesty, accountability, and respect. Trust is earned through consistent actions, and I believe strong relationships are built on that foundation.
I also value service and helping others succeed. Some of my most rewarding experiences have come from mentoring, encouraging, and creating opportunities for others. As a Cherokee woman and healthcare leader, I recognize the importance of lifting others as we climb and helping ensure diverse voices are represented at the table.
Finally, I believe in continuous growth. Learning has been a cornerstone of my journey, from becoming a first-generation college graduate to earning my master's degree and continuing to grow as a leader. I believe God places opportunities in our path, and it is our responsibility to remain humble, teachable, and willing to embrace them.
At the end of the day, I hope to be known not only for what I accomplished, but for the lives I impacted, the doors I helped open, and the example I set for those who come after me.
