What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and allows me to utilize my skills in a supportive environment.

I am a dedicated professional with a Medical Administrative Assistant Certificate from Summit Academy OIC, where I honed my skills in professional communications, medical terminology, and medical billing and coding. My experience spans various roles in the healthcare and customer service sectors, where I have developed a strong foundation in financial clearance and patient account management.

Currently, I work as a Financial Clearance Representative at Allina Health, where I ensure insurance verification and manage prior authorizations for procedures. My previous role at M Health Fairview involved billing and managing patient accounts, which further solidified my expertise in handling complex financial processes within the healthcare system. I pride myself on my organizational skills and my ability to communicate effectively with both patients and healthcare providers.
