What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated healthcare administration professional with over 7 years of experience in managing and optimizing workflows within healthcare settings. My career has been marked by a strong focus on team collaboration and strategic planning, which has enabled me to streamline operations and enhance productivity across various departments. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can leverage my skills in logistics, project management, and problem-solving to deliver consistent results.
In my most recent role as Operations Coordinator, I successfully led cross-functional teams to improve departmental efficiency for over 100 employees. My ability to manage customer relationships and collaborate with human resources has been instrumental in attracting qualified candidates and ensuring seamless communication between providers and patients. I am committed to maintaining high standards of compliance and confidentiality, particularly in adhering to HIPAA regulations while managing sensitive patient information.
My educational background includes a Master of Science in Health Administration, where I graduated magna cum laude, and a Bachelor of Science in Public Health. I am continuously seeking opportunities to grow professionally and contribute to organizations that prioritize operational excellence and patient care.
