What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values teamwork and offers opportunities for professional growth in patient care and healthcare management.

I am a dedicated healthcare information management professional with over 20 years of experience in various roles, including Medical Assistant, RNT, and PCT. My journey in healthcare has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of patient care, coding systems, and interdisciplinary collaboration. I take pride in my ability to accurately assign medical codes and perform audits, ensuring compliance with industry standards and contributing to positive patient outcomes.

Throughout my career, I have consistently sought opportunities for process improvement, resulting in increased efficiency in coding workflows. My experience in direct patient care has allowed me to develop strong relationships with patients and healthcare providers alike. I am passionate about educating patients and their families on managing chronic conditions and promoting independence during rehabilitation. I believe that my commitment to ongoing training and professional development is key to staying current in this ever-evolving field.
