What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my patient care skills while advancing my nursing career.

I am a compassionate and detail-oriented healthcare professional with a strong commitment to patient care and administrative excellence. Currently, I serve as a Surgical Coordinator at Texas Health Heart & Lung Surgical, where I manage patient appointments, verify insurance, and ensure smooth front-desk operations. My role involves close collaboration with doctors and nursing staff, providing essential support to patients during their surgical journeys.

Previously, I worked as a Medical Assistant at PGV Pediatrics, where I honed my skills in patient care and medical record management. My experience in customer service at Medev Healthcare further developed my ability to communicate effectively and resolve issues promptly. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, with the goal of becoming a Registered Nurse, and I am eager to contribute my skills to a dynamic healthcare team.
