What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role in healthcare that fosters growth, teamwork, and patient-focused care.

I am a dedicated and versatile professional with a strong background in management and a passion for transitioning into the healthcare field. My experience includes working as a Mental Health Billing Specialist and Insurance Collections Biller, where I honed my skills in verifying insurance benefits, managing claims, and ensuring compliance with payor guidelines. I pride myself on my attention to detail and my ability to streamline processes to maximize efficiency.

Throughout my education at Ultimate Medical Academy, I achieved Dean's List honors while earning my Associate of Science Degree in Medical Billing and Coding. This program equipped me with essential knowledge in medical terminology, coding systems, and electronic health records. I am committed to leveraging my skills and education to contribute positively to a healthcare organization that values teamwork and patient care.
