What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my healthcare expertise while providing exceptional service and support to patients and clients.

I am a dedicated healthcare professional with over a decade of experience in the medical field, specializing in customer service and patient care. My current role as a Customer Service Representative at United Health Care/Optum Serve has honed my skills in scheduling medical services and addressing inquiries with sensitivity to military culture. I take pride in my ability to resolve issues efficiently while maintaining a high level of service.

Previously, I worked as a Physician Substitute/LVN at Parachute Plasma, where I educated donors about the plasmapheresis process and ensured their safety and suitability for donation. My experience at USAA as a Financial Foundations Specialist further developed my ability to assist clients with insurance products, demonstrating my commitment to providing comprehensive support to those I serve. I am passionate about making a positive impact in the healthcare industry.
