What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to further develop my skills in patient care and healthcare administration while contributing to a supportive team environment.

I am a dedicated medical assistant with a Bachelor of Science in Health Psychology from Brigham Young University - Idaho. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in health sciences, complemented by hands-on experience in dermatology and patient care. I pride myself on my ability to assist, train, and educate fellow medical assistants, ensuring that our clinic operates smoothly and that patients receive the highest level of care.

In my current role as a Senior Medical Assistant at Colorado Dermatology Institute, I have honed my skills in patient care, insurance verification, and procedural assistance. I am committed to fostering a patient-first environment, where I not only address medical inquiries but also ensure that every patient feels valued and cared for. My certifications in BLS and as a Certified Nursing Assistant further enhance my ability to provide comprehensive support in various healthcare settings.
