Detail-oriented claims specialist with strong customer service skills.
What I'm looking for
As a dedicated Claims Specialist at the Social Security Administration, I have honed my skills in conducting interviews and verifying eligibility for various benefits. My role involves resolving discrepancies and adjudicating claims, ensuring that beneficiaries receive the entitlements they deserve based on U.S. Social Security law. I pride myself on my ability to explain complex policies clearly, helping the public understand their rights and responsibilities.
Prior to my current position, I gained valuable experience as a Student Intern at Women’s & Infants Hospital, where I managed data entry and maintained patient confidentiality in compliance with HIPAA regulations. My educational background in Communication from the University of Rhode Island has equipped me with strong interpersonal skills, allowing me to effectively communicate with diverse populations. I am committed to continuous learning and professional development, having completed the Social Security Administration Claims Specialist Training Program in 2023.
