Dedicated healthcare professional with extensive clinical experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated healthcare professional with a Bachelor of Science in Pre-Occupational Therapy and extensive experience in various clinical roles. My journey began as a Medical Records Clerk, where I honed my organizational skills and attention to detail, ensuring patient confidentiality and efficient records management. I then transitioned to roles such as a Phlebotomist and ER Technician, where I provided direct patient care, monitored vital signs, and assisted in emergency procedures, demonstrating my ability to thrive in fast-paced environments.
Most recently, I have excelled as a Referral & Precert Specialist at Covenant Health, where I manage the referral process for a busy medical practice. My responsibilities include reviewing patient records, coordinating communication between healthcare providers, and ensuring timely submission of referral requests. I take pride in educating patients about their referral appointments and facilitating continuity of care, which reflects my commitment to patient-centered healthcare.
With certifications as a Clinical Medical Assistant and in CPR and First Aid, I am well-equipped to deliver high-quality care. I am passionate about contributing to a collaborative healthcare team and continuously improving patient outcomes.
