What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values client-focused service and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a detail-oriented and highly organized professional with extensive experience in client services, legal assistance, and eligibility determination. My career has been defined by my ability to manage sensitive information and maintain accuracy in documentation while delivering exceptional service in fast-paced environments.

As an Eligibility Specialist II at the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, I have honed my skills in evaluating client documentation to determine Medicaid eligibility. My previous roles as a Legal Assistant and Receptionist have further developed my expertise in legal document management and client communication. I am passionate about contributing to organizational success and am eager to expand my professional growth in a client-focused administrative or government role.
