Patient scheduling specialist with 15 years healthcare experience improving patient flow.
What I'm looking for
I am a patient-focused scheduling specialist with 15 years of healthcare experience transitioning from pharmacy technician roles into patient access and scheduling. I bring deep familiarity with medical terminology, insurance verification, and high-volume patient interactions.
In prior roles I managed appointment scheduling, registration, referral coordination, and insurance benefit verification while using EMR systems such as Epic and Cerner. I have a proven record of improving patient flow and reducing scheduling conflicts by 56%.
My background includes accurate prescription processing, claims submission, inventory control, and pharmacy operations support, along with formal pharmacy technician training and state licensure. I emphasize clinical accuracy, data integrity, and compassionate patient communication in every interaction.
I seek to leverage my scheduling, insurance knowledge, and system proficiency to support efficient access and smoother patient experiences for providers and care teams.
