What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to utilize my medical coding skills while contributing to a collaborative healthcare team.

With over two decades of experience in the healthcare field, I have honed my skills in medical coding, patient registration, and medical billing. My journey began as a Medical Assistant, where I assisted physicians and managed patient records, which laid a solid foundation for my career in healthcare administration.

Throughout my career, I have worked in various roles, including VR Editor and Patient Registration Coordinator, where I developed a keen eye for detail and accuracy. My experience in editing medical records and ensuring compliance with HIPAA regulations has equipped me with the necessary skills to excel in medical coding. I am currently enhancing my expertise by pursuing further education in medical coding through the American Academy of Professional Coders.
