What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my coding skills in a supportive environment focused on healthcare excellence and compliance.

I am a Certified Professional Coder – Apprentice (CPC-A) with a solid foundation in medical billing and coding, backed by one year of hands-on training through CareerStep. My background in healthcare, operations, and administrative management has equipped me with proven strengths in documentation, compliance, and patient service. I am detail-oriented, organized, and committed to excellence in coding accuracy and regulatory standards.

My educational journey includes a Bachelor's degree in Accounting from Utah Tech University, expected in 2027, and an Associate of Science with a Nursing Emphasis obtained in 2019. I have also completed a year of medical coding practice, gaining hands-on experience with coding scenarios, electronic health records (EHR) use, and insurance workflows. My certifications, including BLS/CPR and Certified Nursing Assistant, further enhance my qualifications in the healthcare field.

Throughout my professional experience, I have held various roles, including Certified Nursing Assistant, General Manager, and Operations Assistant. These positions have honed my skills in patient care, business operations, and community marketing. I thrive in collaborative environments and am passionate about delivering high-quality service while ensuring compliance with healthcare regulations.
