What I'm looking for

I'm seeking remote or contract transcription and editing roles where I can apply AutoScript/Allscripts and voice-recognition expertise, deliver accurate medical/legal documentation, and secure stable, long-term engagements with clear workflows.

I am a dedicated medical transcriptionist and editor who has worked as an independent contractor across medical and legal settings, proofreading and transcribing for specialties including orthopedics, neurology, radiology and psychology.

I hold a Certified AutoScript Editor credential (2024), a Medical Transcription diploma, certificates in Electronic Medical Records and Medical Office Administration, and a BA in English and Communications, which together strengthen my accuracy, grammar and workflow efficiency.

I am proficient with platforms such as Allscripts, EditScript, Inscribe/EMDAT, Powerscribe and AutoScript, and I prioritize timely, high-quality deliverables, consistent client communication, and long-term contract reliability.
