Dedicated Medical Assistant eager to grow in healthcare administration.
What I'm looking for
I am a passionate Medical Assistant with experience in both clinical and administrative roles. My journey began with a focus on Medical Billing and Coding at DeVry University, where I honed my skills in billing for insurance companies and coding for diagnoses. I am eager to apply my knowledge in a practical setting, particularly in coding, which I find most fulfilling.
Throughout my career, I have worked in various healthcare settings, including Gupta Cardiology, where I managed front desk operations and assisted with patient care. My responsibilities included scheduling appointments, handling insurance billing, and performing EKGs. I take pride in my ability to provide excellent patient care and ensure smooth office operations. I am now looking for part-time opportunities that will allow me to further develop my skills and contribute to a healthcare team.
