Bilingual medical assistant delivering compassionate patient care, triage, and clinical support across specialties.
What I'm looking for
I am a bilingual (English & Spanish) medical professional with broad hands-on experience in patient intake, triage, clinical procedures, and administrative support across psychiatry, endocrinology, trauma, OB/GYN, and emergency settings. I consistently support providers by coordinating care, managing documentation, and ensuring efficient, compassionate patient experiences.
My background includes roles as a lead medical assistant, EMT, and release-of-information specialist where I performed screenings, injections, wound care, EKGs, lab draws, coding/billing tasks, and trained new staff. I hold EMT and NHA MA certifications, BLS certification, and I am customer-focused, adaptable in fast-paced environments, and committed to high-quality, compliant clinical operations.
