What I'm looking for
I am an accomplished medical billing and revenue cycle professional with experience across ambulatory surgery centers, physician groups, and hospital billing.

I excel in patient-facing and front desk coordination roles, coaching peers to elevate performance, and using systems like Waystar, Epic, NextGen, SIS, and Nimble to streamline billing workflows. I seek a long-term opportunity where I can contribute my billing expertise, support team objectives, and continue to grow professionally.
