What I'm looking for
I am a highly motivated medical administrative professional and U.S. Military veteran with over 24 years of experience supporting dental clinics and patient care operations.

My background includes clinical coordination for multiple dental clinics, managing front-desk and clinical personnel, and maintaining patient accounts and insurance claims. I am proficient with electronic health records, medical/dental coding, and payment processing systems including Oracle.
I have hands-on clinical skills from chairside assisting to sterilization, radiographs, and perioperative support, and I have supported post-doctoral residents and fellows in specialty services such as prosthodontics and maxillofacial cases. I have been recognized for professionalism and productivity, including an Employee of the Quarter award.
I am detail-oriented, adaptable in fast-paced environments, and committed to HIPAA-compliant, patient-centered care. I seek opportunities where I can leverage clinical and administrative strengths to improve operational efficiency and patient outcomes.
