What I'm looking for

I am looking for an entry-level position in medical coding or billing to gain hands-on experience and advance my career.

As a highly driven CPC-A certified medical coder, I have a strong foundation in healthcare management and health information technology. My proficiency in ICD-10-CM, CPT, and HCPCS coding systems, combined with my experience in health information management and patient record auditing, positions me well to contribute effectively to a healthcare organization.

Throughout my academic journey, I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Management and an Associate of Applied Science in Health Information Technology, both with a perfect GPA of 4.0. My professional experience includes roles at Mayo Clinic, where I managed patient orders and health records using EPIC, ensuring compliance with healthcare documentation standards. I am committed to advancing my career in medical coding and billing, actively pursuing hands-on experience to remove my apprentice status.
