What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that values teamwork and offers opportunities for growth in psychology and customer service.

I am a dedicated and motivated professional currently pursuing a Master of Science in Psychology, with a strong foundation in customer service and inventory management. My experience as an Account Receivable Specialist at Revere Health has honed my skills in patient management and billing systems, where I excel in documenting activities accurately and efficiently. I thrive in both independent and team environments, ensuring that all tasks are completed with precision.

In addition to my current role, I have a diverse background in various positions, including as a Stylist and Host at Hello Dancer Photography, where I manage client interactions and ensure a seamless experience for dancers. My previous experience as a Customer Service Representative for Aetna Healthcare further developed my ability to communicate effectively and provide exceptional support to clients. I am passionate about utilizing my organizational skills and attention to detail in a role that allows me to contribute positively to a team.
