## About

```text
At the Department of Veterans Affairs, I serve as the primary administrative point of contact for Veterans receiving pain management services. I coordinate appointments, referrals, and medication refill requests while supporting a multidisciplinary team of healthcare providers.

Previously, I assisted physicians with GI and pulmonary procedures, including colonoscopies and bronchoscopies. I also documented patient and procedure information, handled specimens, and maintained sterilization equipment.

At HCA Mission Hospital, I perform venipuncture and collect specimens for diagnostic testing, while also assisting with staff training. Earlier, as a Certified Medical Assistant at HCA Vista Family Health, I supported patient care and clinic operations, including records, referrals, and scheduling.
