What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities in healthcare management, where I can utilize my skills in administration and patient care.

My professional journey began in the accounts department of a private practice, where I managed ICD-10 and CPT code billing, stock usage, and medication administration. I consistently submitted claims to medical aids, ensuring accuracy and efficiency. My experience expanded at a private hospital group, focusing on strict stock control and accurate billing for patients, which honed my organizational skills.

In my most recent role as a Nursing Administrator at Total Care Health Services in New Zealand, I was responsible for daily scheduling of nurses, invoicing, and maintaining accurate records. My commitment to health and safety, along with my leadership skills, allowed me to effectively manage a team of nurses while ensuring high-quality patient care. I am eager to continue growing in my career and contribute positively to healthcare management.
