What I'm looking for

I seek a patient-facing role in a dental setting where I can apply administrative, clinical support, and insurance coordination skills in a collaborative, respectful team environment.

I am a dependable healthcare administrative professional with extensive experience in patient coordination, billing, and customer care across dental and medical settings.

I have managed high-volume patient interactions, verified insurance coverage, scheduled appointments, and maintained confidential electronic medical records, consistently ensuring accuracy and excellent service.

My background includes roles in dental patient coordination, medical billing, referral coordination, and frontline customer support, where I resolved inquiries, coordinated authorizations, and supported patients with empathy and professionalism.

I bring clinical support skills such as vital signs, EKG administration, specimen collection, CPR certification, and limited x-ray experience, combined with strong organizational and communication strengths to contribute effectively to a dental team.
