What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging work-from-home opportunity that allows me to apply my extensive medical knowledge and strong communication skills while supporting patient care and administrative tasks.

I am an experienced Medical Assistant and Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) with over 8 years of combined experience in diverse healthcare settings and high-volume customer service environments. Currently pursuing an Associate Degree in Nursing, I bring a solid foundation in patient care, clinical procedures, and medical terminology. My ability to leverage technology and manage multiple priorities has allowed me to provide exceptional remote support in various roles.

Throughout my career, I have administered vaccines, performed venipuncture, and conducted comprehensive patient assessments. My experience includes utilizing Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems for efficient patient charting and appointment scheduling. I have a proven track record of educating patients on pre- and post-procedure care, ensuring their comprehension and compliance. I am passionate about delivering high-quality patient care and continuously seek opportunities to enhance my skills and knowledge in the healthcare field.
