What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, values teamwork, and allows me to leverage my healthcare expertise.

I am a results-driven healthcare management professional with a strong background in operations and account management. My journey began with a Bachelor's degree in Healthcare Management from Concordia Chicago, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude. I have honed my skills in various roles, including my current position as an Account Representative at CareerStaff Unlimited, where I partner with management to drive daily projects and develop effective sales strategies.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to manage complex operations and maintain compliance with healthcare regulations. My experience as an Executive Assistant at Shriners Hospitals for Children allowed me to support engineering and operations teams, ensuring adherence to Joint Commission standards and enhancing patient care through innovative solutions. I thrive in dynamic environments and am passionate about improving processes and fostering strong relationships with stakeholders.
