Benjamin Freeman

This is the fuller version of me than a resume or LinkedIn profile can hold.

I am a former professional hockey captain, UConn MBA student, healthcare management graduate, and early-career operator learning how healthcare, data, and people fit together in real organizations.

Say hello Read the story
  • No tracking scripts
  • No public feed
  • Human-first context
Abstract professional workspace with analytics reports, a laptop dashboard, and subtle hockey leadership objects.
A personal professional home, not a pitch deck.

My public home base

A little more human than a resume.

I wanted one place that feels more honest than a social feed and more complete than a one-page resume. This is for recruiters, alumni, former teammates, hiring managers, and people who want enough context to start a real conversation.

What I am doing now

Finishing an MBA in Business Analytics at UConn and building toward work where healthcare operations, people, and practical data use meet.

Where I come from

Hockey shaped a lot of how I work: show up consistently, listen before leading, stay accountable, and keep the room moving when pressure rises.

What I am looking for

Roles and conversations around healthcare operations, business analysis, population health, revenue cycle, operations reporting, and stakeholder-heavy BI work.

Private by default

This replaces some of what LinkedIn would normally do for me, but without a feed, comments, hidden analytics scripts, contact forms, or a visitor database. Cloudflare handles edge security and human verification before the public page loads.

Experience thread

The through-line is operations, accountability, and learning quickly.

01

Healthcare Curiosity

My healthcare management background started with wanting to understand how care gets organized behind the scenes: patient flow, access, staffing, reporting, and the decisions that make systems easier or harder to navigate.

02

Practical Analytics

I am not trying to present myself as a senior data scientist. I am building useful fluency with SQL, Python, R, statistics, dashboards, and the judgment to turn messy questions into clearer next steps.

03

Team Leadership

Being a captain and player representative taught me how much trust is built in small moments: preparation, direct communication, taking feedback, and being steady when the environment is not.

04

Small-Business Work

Small-business projects have kept me close to real operating constraints: owner time, client experience, service delivery, local outreach, online booking, and reporting that actually gets used.

Projects and examples

A few things I have worked on and what they say about me.

This is the part I wish LinkedIn handled better: not a list of buzzwords, but enough detail to show how I think, communicate, and connect work back to people.

Hospital work

Bon Secours reporting and rotations

During a healthcare administration internship, I rotated through departments and helped build Excel-based initiative reports for COO updates to the CEO. It was an early lesson in making operational activity clear enough for leaders to act on.

What it shows
Hospital operations, Excel, executive communication
Access

Free-standing emergency department proposal

I created and presented a proposal around a free-standing emergency department, tying together healthcare access, patient flow, market opportunity, operational feasibility, and responsible AI workflow demos.

What it shows
Healthcare strategy, presentation, AI judgment
Dashboard

Beyond Strength dashboard

I built an AI-assisted Python dashboard with Dash, Plotly, Pandas, linear regression, and Google Sheets data to help visualize membership growth, estimated revenue, forecasting, and break-even thinking for a small business.

What it shows
Python, dashboarding, practical business analytics
Leadership

Professional team captain and player representative

I led weekly team meetings, acted as a liaison between management and teammates, and tried to help keep a professional team aligned through a division championship season.

What it shows
Communication, accountability, cross-functional alignment

Learning and direction

What I am studying and where I am aiming.

I am most interested in work where healthcare operations, communication, and data meet. The titles may vary, but the common thread is helping teams understand what is happening and make better operational decisions.

MBA, Business Analytics

UConn MBA coursework in data analytics, data management, statistics, predictive modeling, SQL, Python, and R.

Healthcare Management

UConn bachelor's degree in Healthcare Management with a Public Policy minor, plus the perspective that came from being a student-athlete and team captain.

Current Direction

Healthcare operations analyst, business analyst, population health, revenue cycle, operations reporting, and BI roles with real stakeholder contact.
