What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my office management skills in a supportive and collaborative environment, with opportunities for professional growth.

I am a seasoned professional with over 11 years of diverse administrative experience, currently serving as a Remote Patient Access Specialist II. My expertise lies in managing office operations, insurance verification, and scheduling, which I have honed through various roles in healthcare settings. I am passionate about ensuring seamless communication and service delivery, which I believe is crucial in the healthcare industry.

In my recent role as an Office Manager, I oversaw daily administrative functions, ensuring compliance with state regulations and efficient patient chart management. My ability to facilitate patient scheduling and coordinate billing activities has contributed to a compliant and effective office environment. I take pride in my attention to detail and my commitment to providing exceptional customer service, which I believe is vital in fostering positive patient experiences.

As I seek to leverage my expertise in office management and coordination, I am eager to contribute to a dynamic team where I can continue to grow professionally while making a meaningful impact in the healthcare sector.
