What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a patient-focused role applying trauma-informed advocacy, care coordination and scheduling expertise in a collaborative, patient-centered organization that values improvement and virtual care.

I am an experienced patient advocate who effectively communicates and collaborates with providers and patients to improve satisfaction and outcomes. I bring strong customer service skills, expertise with virtual platforms and EMR processes, and a demonstrated ability to learn new systems quickly.

I developed and managed a robust Trauma Support Group Program averaging 15 groups per year, implemented evidence-based interventions to reduce PTSD symptoms, trained volunteer facilitators, and consistently delivered excellent service in customer-facing roles, including achieving a 100% satisfaction rating.
