What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values patient advocacy and offers opportunities for professional growth in healthcare.

I am a dedicated customer service professional with over 10 years of experience, specializing in patient access and support. My role as a Patient Access Specialist at AstraZeneca has honed my skills in navigating complex healthcare systems, ensuring that patients receive the medication they need through effective communication and problem-solving. I pride myself on my ability to educate both patients and healthcare providers about access programs, which has significantly improved patient outcomes.

Previously, I worked as a Merchant Onboarding and Client Support Specialist at CERTIFY Global, where I successfully managed client relationships and streamlined onboarding processes. My experience in project management and customer service has equipped me with the skills to handle high-pressure situations while maintaining a professional demeanor. I am passionate about identifying process improvement opportunities and optimizing time management to enhance productivity.
