What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to support individuals while utilizing my administrative and healthcare management skills.

I am a dedicated Representative Payee Specialist with over five years of experience in managing Medicaid eligibility and government benefits for individuals. My role at New Horizons in Autism has allowed me to develop a comprehensive understanding of Medicaid, Medicare, and insurance billing, ensuring that clients receive the benefits they are entitled to. I pride myself on my ability to serve as a liaison between Social Security and clients, maintaining accurate records and submitting timely claims to both commercial and non-commercial payers.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in time management, organization, and communication. My experience as a Residential Assistant and Direct Support Professional has equipped me with the ability to provide supervision and guidance to individuals, ensuring their daily needs are met while fostering their independence. I am also proficient in various software applications, including MS Office and QuickBooks, which aids in my ability to manage documentation and financial records effectively.

As I continue to grow professionally, I am eager to leverage my skills in a challenging role that allows me to make a positive impact on individuals' lives. I am committed to maintaining high standards of service and support, and I look forward to contributing to a team that shares my passion for helping others.
