What I'm looking for

I seek a patient-centered clinical role where I can coordinate care, streamline operations, mentor staff, and continue developing clinical and administrative skills in a collaborative healthcare setting.

I am a compassionate, patient-focused certified medical assistant and surgical coordinator with over ten years of healthcare and customer-service experience. I prioritize accurate, organized care and clear communication to support patients and clinical teams.

In my current role as Surgical Coordinator / Certified MA, I schedule surgeries and pre-op appointments, secure authorizations, obtain medical clearances, and educate patients on pre- and post-operative instructions. I also scribe for surgeons, maintain accurate documentation and diagnosis coding, and streamline patient file workflows to improve efficiency.

My background includes radiology assistance across seven imaging modalities, phlebotomy, EKGs, vital signs, basic medical billing and coding, and administration of medications. I am fluent with SRS EMR, Micro, Epic, PACS, Microsoft Outlook, and Excel, and I hold BLS certification.

I work well under stress, mentor new hires, and consistently apply HIPAA and OSHA standards. I seek roles where I can continue improving patient outcomes, support clinical operations, and contribute to a collaborative care environment.
