What I'm looking for

I seek a patient-focused administrative role where I can apply scheduling, payroll, and clinic coordination skills in a collaborative, service-oriented environment.

I am an experienced Medical Support Assistant and Civilian Pay Technician with a long history supporting VA and civilian healthcare operations. I combine scheduling, patient communication, and payroll expertise to ensure accurate payments and smooth clinic workflows.

In my current Civilian Pay Technician role I coordinate with timekeepers across VA facilities to prevent payroll errors and ensure timely payments. As an Advanced Medical Support Assistant I negotiated and scheduled appointments across multiple specialties and telehealth modalities, closely managing cardiology consults to meet national standards.

I have broad clinic support experience including call center work handling high call volumes, pre-registration, check-in/check-out, medication refill coordination, and consult processing. I also have prior office management, payroll, accounts payable/receivable, and accounting roles in nonprofit and private-sector settings.

I work independently or as part of a team, adapt quickly, and prioritize excellent customer service for veterans and patients. I bring strong technical familiarity with scheduling and clinical documentation systems, medical terminology, and a history of reliable, deadline-driven performance.
