What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a Senior Medical Billing & Coding Specialist or Revenue Cycle Specialist role where I can apply my experience reviewing claims, researching denials and payment issues, and supporting providers across U.S. healthcare plans.

I’m a bilingual healthcare professional with a background in Linguistics and over five years of experience supporting U.S. healthcare organizations. I’m self-driven, highly organized, detail-oriented, and naturally competitive with myself—I’m always motivated to exceed my own expectations and deliver high-quality results. I enjoy both back-office work, especially billing, claims, and case analysis, and direct one-on-one interaction with patients, providers, and clients. I’m naturally analytical and curious, and I tend to notice when something doesn’t look right. I enjoy taking a deeper look into a case, understanding what happened, identifying discrepancies, and finding the most accurate resolution. I’m especially interested in healthcare, medical billing and coding, revenue cycle, claims, and operations roles where I can combine analytical work with communication and problem-solving.
