Dedicated healthcare advocate with extensive customer service experience.

What I'm looking for

I seek a stable career in healthcare where I can grow and contribute.

I am a committed healthcare advocate with a strong background in customer service, having accumulated over eight years of experience in various roles. My journey has equipped me with the skills to effectively communicate and assist clients in navigating complex healthcare systems, ensuring they receive the benefits they deserve. Currently, I work as a Chat Agent at Athena Health Care Systems, where I provide critical support to Medicaid recipients, helping them understand their health insurance options and benefits.

Throughout my career, I have held positions that required meticulous attention to detail and a deep understanding of healthcare processes. My role as a Patient Care Advocate at Alorica involved addressing client inquiries and verifying eligibility, which honed my ability to manage sensitive information while adhering to HIPAA regulations. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am passionate about making a positive impact in the lives of others through effective communication and problem-solving.
