What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can protect HIPAA-compliant operations while owning billing, payroll, scheduling, and accurate record-keeping—paired with a team that values quality customer/client care and clear, efficient processes.

I’m a bilingual, detail-oriented healthcare administrator with extensive experience owning and running health service operations. I’ve served as Chief Financial Officer for day-to-day financial oversight, strategic planning, and critical decision-making that supports agency growth and stability.

I manage complex billing, including CM 1500 forms and online plan platforms (with deep experience using Availity). I also oversee payroll processing, scheduling for field attendants, HR functions, background checks, and the maintenance of accurate client and employee records.

As a HIPAA compliance officer, I keep operations professional and audit-ready, combining strong data entry skills with quality assurance programs. From ICD-9/ICD-10 knowledge to medical terminology and Lewis Program documentation, I focus on issue resolution, data integrity, and reliable client care.
