What I'm looking for

I seek a healthcare role focused on improving access and processes, using EMR and data skills, in a collaborative, quality-driven organization.

I am a results-driven healthcare administrative professional with over four years coordinating healthcare delivery through scheduling, access management, and customer service. I combine strong systems thinking and data management skills to support informed decision-making and improve internal processes.

I have experience managing check-in/check-out workflows, verifying insurance and authorizations, reconciling daily batches, and coordinating care transitions for large patient populations. I am proficient with electronic medical records (Athenahealth, Epic), computerized scheduling systems, and Microsoft Excel.

I work well independently and collaboratively, exercising sound judgment to resolve concerns, prioritize tasks, and ensure data integrity. I seek opportunities to contribute to organizations committed to continuous improvement and high standards of care.
