What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values communication and offers growth opportunities.

I am a detail-oriented administrative assistant with over 10 years of experience in various roles, including customer service, debt collection, and healthcare management. My journey has equipped me with strong communication skills and a deep understanding of finance, which I aim to leverage in negotiating repayments while adhering to debt collection laws.

Currently, I serve as an Administrative Assistant III and Onboarding Specialist at Premise Health, where I provide direct customer service to job applicants and manage employee data using BEACON. My previous roles as a Collection Specialist and Reimbursement Case Manager have honed my ability to analyze borrower accounts, negotiate payment plans, and ensure patients have access to necessary healthcare services.

With a solid educational background, including an Associate's degree in Healthcare Management, I am committed to continuous learning and professional development. I am eager to contribute my skills and experience to a dynamic team that values effective communication and financial expertise.
