What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my bilingual skills and clinical expertise in a supportive healthcare environment.

As a dedicated Bilingual Medical Assistant, I bring a wealth of experience in both clinical and administrative settings. My training at Summit College has equipped me with essential skills in patient care, medical billing, and documentation. I thrive in fast-paced environments where I can utilize my bilingual abilities to enhance communication between patients and healthcare providers.

Throughout my career, I have worked in various healthcare settings, including physical therapy and chiropractic offices. My responsibilities have ranged from scheduling appointments and managing patient records to performing vital sign checks and assisting physicians during examinations. I take pride in my ability to provide compassionate care while ensuring that all administrative tasks are handled efficiently.

I am committed to continuous learning and professional development, holding certifications in CPR, OSHA, and various clinical skills. I am eager to contribute my expertise to a healthcare team that values patient-centered care and teamwork.
