What I'm looking for

I seek a remote-friendly role in dental or healthcare administration where I can manage referrals, scheduling, and patient coordination while supporting mission-driven teams.

I am a dedicated dental administrative professional with 15 years supporting Department of Defense dental operations, most recently as a Dental Purchased Care (ADDP) Coordinator. I consistently deliver accurate patient eligibility determination, appointment coordination, scheduling/templates management, and detailed recordkeeping, and I have been recognized for exceptional initiative and problem-solving.

My remote work performance has enabled timely off-post referrals and uninterrupted care for thousands of service members; I have streamlined front-desk operations, trained new hires, and maintained flawless case management under staffing shortages, earning multiple letters of recommendation and formal awards.
