What I'm looking for

I seek a patient-centered clinical role where I can apply hands-on MA skills, support providers, manage EHR workflows, and grow into greater clinical or supervisory responsibilities in a collaborative team.

I am a certified medical assistant with extensive experience across urgent care, internal medicine, family practice, specialty clinics, and travel assignments. I consistently perform patient intake, vitals, phlebotomy, EKGs, injections, and assist providers with procedures while maintaining accurate EHR documentation.

I have supported high-volume clinics and specialty practices, administered immunotherapy and vaccinations, performed diagnostic testing (EKG, holter, nuclear stress testing), and managed room prep, supplies, and patient education. My background includes supervisory and clerical responsibilities such as scheduling, insurance verification, payroll submissions, and front-desk duties.

I bring strong communication, organizational, and technical skills (Epic, EMR, Microsoft Office), am certified in multiple MA credentials and life-saving certifications, and thrive in settings that value patient-centered care, accuracy, and teamwork.
