I deliver compassionate patient care, medical support, and high-volume patient access assistance.
What I'm looking for
I've supported patients and providers across Navy medical facilities and MyAbbVie Patient Access Support, combining compassionate care with accurate medical administration.
At Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and NMRTC Great Lakes, I managed vitals, immunizations, EKG assistance, medical charting, recruit documentation, and patient scheduling. I helped expedite more than 550 recruit separation forms, created over 1,600 medical-waiver submissions, and trained over 40 corpsmen and naval medical officers on Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine procedures.
In patient assistance support, I handle high-volume inbound calls, application documentation, insurance and prior authorization questions, medication refills, and coordination with pharmacy teams through Five9 and Salesforce. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish and focused on providing comfort, compassion, and high-quality care to patients and families.
