Certified Medical Assistant blending clinical support and surgical technology expertise.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking to support clinicians in a patient-focused, procedure-driven setting—handling triage, assisting during exams, and keeping documentation accurate in Epic, while also bringing my surgical tech experience for smooth, efficient care.

I’m a Certified Medical Assistant currently assisting physicians and nurse practitioners during exams and procedures, including removing staples and sutures and placing and removing casts. At Ortho Carolina, I also handle patient triage while maintaining accurate documentation in Epic, and I order medical supplies for the local clinic.

Before this role, I built strong surgical support experience as a Surgical Technologist, assisting 23 surgeons with ENT and eye surgeries by prepping cases and instruments weekly. I also supported reconstructive surgery by sterilizing instruments multiple times weekly, coordinating and scheduling surgeries and medical appointments, and maintaining organized patient documentation.

Earlier roles strengthened my ability to support patients and operations—providing front desk support, managing phone calls, and working with systems like POS. I earned my Diploma/Certification in Applied Science in Surgical Technology from York Technical College, and I bring that clinical discipline and attention to detail into every task.
