I am a hard-working, professional going above and beyond the requirements to satisfy clients, improve operations and increase quality of service.
What I'm looking for
I am a professional with a strong commitment to supporting learners in reaching specific IEP objectives. In this role, I assist with developing, implementing, and documenting measurable goals, while collecting and accurately maintaining student performance data. I bring experience using program-specific systems to support independence, communication, and learning progress.
Beyond education, I have built a track record in client-focused and compliance-driven work. As a Senior Patient Enrollment Advocate, I handled 100+ calls per day, navigated secure web-based applications, and documented protocols to safeguard confidential records while resolving insurance questions and guiding clients through at-home medical equipment. I also bring customer-service and operations experience from roles including Bank Teller and Resident Assistant, where I performed reconciliations, administrative duties, and conflict resolution.
