Recent graduate passionate about medical coding and healthcare documentation.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a recent graduate with a strong foundation in medical coding, eager to apply my knowledge of ICD-10-CM, CPT, and HCPCS coding systems in an entry-level medical coding position. My education has equipped me with the skills necessary for accurate healthcare documentation, and I am committed to contributing to efficient healthcare operations.
In my previous role as a Dietary Assistant Lead at Advocate Aurora Sherman Hospital, I honed my organizational and detail-oriented skills while managing patient dietary orders and ensuring compliance with health regulations. My dedication to patient safety and effective communication has been recognized through awards such as the Good Catch Recognition and the Lilly Award.
As I continue my professional journey, I am actively working with Pacticode through AAPC to expedite my certification process. I am excited about the opportunity to grow in a dynamic healthcare environment where I can leverage my skills and passion for medical coding.
