Certified Clinical Medical Assistant delivering compassionate patient care with 8+ years across behavioral health and primary care.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Certified Clinical Medical Assistant with over 8 years of experience providing patient care in behavioral health, primary care, and specialty settings. I focus on delivering high-quality, compassionate care while keeping clinic operations running efficiently.
In my most recent role at OhioHealth Behavioral Health (2023–2025), I roomed patients, recorded vital signs, and updated medical records. I also administered medications, injections, and treatments per provider orders, and performed CLIA-waived laboratory tests while monitoring controlled prescriptions.
Previously at American Health Network (2019–2022), I collected patient histories and vital signs, performed EKGs, and documented all patient care using NextGen EMR. I managed scheduling, prior authorizations, referrals, and prescription refills, and supported physicians and nurse practitioners during in-office procedures.
My background also spans behavioral health support and specialized clinical workflows—such as urine samples for drug screenings and COWS exams, dialysis patient care and treatment monitoring, and accurate venipuncture with timely specimen delivery. I bring strong administrative and clerical support skills alongside hands-on patient care, backed by training and certifications including certified medical assistant and certified phlebotomist.
