What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities in medical coding and billing, with a supportive team environment focused on accuracy and efficiency.

As a dedicated Medical Coder, I am passionate about ensuring accurate and timely billing processes. My experience as a Patient Account Specialist at KidsPeace has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of billing cycles, payer requirements, and the importance of meticulous data management. I thrive in environments that challenge my problem-solving skills and allow me to collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to enhance the revenue cycle process.

My journey in the medical coding field began with my education at Purdue University Global, where I earned my Medical Coding and Billing Certificate. I am committed to continuous learning and professional development, with aspirations to become a Cancer Registrar. My previous roles, including a School Bus Driver and Clerical Supervisor, have honed my time management and customer service skills, making me adaptable and effective in various settings.
