What I'm looking for

I am seeking a patient-focused role in a collaborative medical or dental practice where I can manage insurance, streamline scheduling, and improve office efficiency.

I am an experienced dental administrative professional with decades supporting dental and medical practices, focused on patient care, scheduling, and insurance coordination.

I have strong technical proficiency with Eaglesoft, Medworks, Vyne dental, and Palmetto Rx Solutions, and I am X‑Ray certified and a Certified Medical Administrative Assistant.

My background includes chair-side dental assisting, performing X-rays, restorative procedure support, sterilization protocols, supply management, and front‑desk responsibilities such as appointment scheduling and patient intake.

I consistently streamline office workflows, verify and process insurance claims and prior authorizations, manage patient communications, and support practice administrators to improve operational efficiency.
