What I'm looking for

I am seeking a client-facing role in healthcare insurance or care coordination that leverages my sales, case management, and bilingual support skills, with opportunities for growth and stable, collaborative culture.

I am an experienced healthcare insurance sales agent and coordinator who combines client-focused sales with administrative and case-management strengths. I have a proven record introducing and explaining insurance options, processing policies, calculating premiums, and following up on claims while maintaining professional documentation and client communication.

My background includes medical transportation coordination, dispatching and customer service, and many years as an ESL educator and para professional working with special needs students. I bring strong organization, translation ability (Spanish), curriculum and behavior-management experience, and certifications in life & health insurance and AHIP.
