What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values operational efficiency and patient care.

I am a dedicated and detail-oriented healthcare administration professional with over 20 years of experience in the healthcare industry. I hold a bachelor’s degree in healthcare administration from The University of Arizona Global Campus and an associate’s degree in business management from Trident Technical College. My strong foundation in healthcare operations, clinical support, and administrative processes has equipped me with hands-on experience in medical coding, clinical research, and various EMR systems.

Throughout my career, I have developed a robust skill set that includes medical records auditing, insurance authorizations, patient scheduling, billing and collections, and maintaining regulatory compliance. My commitment to enhancing patient care and operational efficiency in dynamic healthcare settings is complemented by my BLS certification and excellent communication, problem-solving, and organizational skills. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to contribute positively to healthcare organizations.
