What I'm looking for
As an Administrative Coordinator at Dana Ben Realty Group, I excel in managing high-volume scheduling and acting as the primary liaison between clients and service providers. My role requires professionalism and attention to detail, ensuring that sensitive client information is handled with care. I thrive in fast-paced environments, where my organizational skills and ability to prioritize tasks shine.
My diverse experience includes working as a Bartender at Arthur's Wine Bar, where I delivered personalized service and managed bar inventory. Additionally, I gained valuable insights into healthcare during my observational clinical experience at Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital in Cairo, Egypt. This experience deepened my understanding of hospital workflows and the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration in patient care.
With a Bachelor of Arts in Biology from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, I am passionate about the intersection of healthcare and administration. I am eager to leverage my skills in a role that allows me to contribute to a dynamic team while continuing to grow professionally.
