What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated healthcare administrative professional with over 10 years of experience in surgical coordination, client care, and customer service. I manage high-volume scheduling, patient communication, and medical records in fast-paced clinical environments.

I also develop and coordinate quality management by investigating patient concerns and consulting with nurse managers on policy interpretation.
In prior roles I matched caregivers to clients, managed schedules, handled conflict resolution, and delivered accurate information using CRM and internal tools. I have additional experience providing client support for laboratory services, processing documentation, and managing cash office operations and staff scheduling.
I am bilingual in English and Spanish, proficient with NextGen EMR/EHR and Microsoft Office, and committed to organized, patient-centered administrative operations and staff training that improve service quality and workflow efficiency.
