What I'm looking for

I seek a patient-focused clinical role where I can provide hands-on care, streamline administrative workflows, and grow within a supportive healthcare team.

I am a certified medical assistant with multi‑specialty clinical experience supporting rheumatology, primary care, pain management, podiatry, wound care, neurology, dermatology, and urology. I deliver hands‑on patient care — vitals, point‑of‑care testing, injections, dressings, and medication/vaccine administration — while maintaining strict HIPAA compliance.

I have supported procedural setups, peripheral arterial disease and neuropathy screenings (QuantaFlo, Neurometrix), phlebotomy, and laboratory check‑in processes. I also manage administrative workflows including scheduling, prior authorizations, referrals, insurance eligibility checks, and electronic charting.

My experience spans fast‑paced outpatient settings at Optum Medical Group and private practice, where I earned recognitions such as TouchWorks Champion and multiple certifications including CPR BLS and California Certified Medical Assistant. I contributed to volunteer health events and student professional organizations during my academic training.

I bring strong attention to detail, effective communication, and proficiency with EMR systems (OfficeAlly, IDX, TouchWorks) and Microsoft Word. I am seeking opportunities where I can continue improving patient outcomes and streamline clinical operations through reliable, empathetic care.
