What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values teamwork and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated and efficient ophthalmic technician with extensive experience in patient care and administrative duties within the medical field. My journey began in 2004, and over the years, I have honed my skills in various roles, including lead technician and office manager. I pride myself on my strong work ethic and ability to adapt to the dynamic needs of a healthcare environment.

At the Retina Institute of Illinois, I excelled in managing patient records, scheduling appointments, and performing diagnostic procedures using advanced equipment such as Zeiss and Heidelberg cameras. My experience at the Vision Institute of Michigan further solidified my proficiency in patient care, where I took medical histories, conducted visual acuity tests, and maintained office inventory. I am also trilingual, which allows me to communicate effectively with a diverse patient population.
