What I'm looking for

I seek a clinical or administrative healthcare role where I can apply hands-on patient care, EMR proficiency, and grow into greater responsibility within a collaborative team.

I am a dedicated medical assistant with hands-on clinical training and administrative experience in outpatient and institutional healthcare settings.

I hold an Associate of Applied Science in Health and Medical Administrative Services and a Medical Assistant Certificate, and I am certified as an NRCMA and NRCPT with BLS, HIPAA, and OSHA trainings.

I have performed patient triage, vital signs, phlebotomy, EKGs, injections, point-of-care testing, EMR workflows (Office, XP, Vista, Cerner, Paragon), and assisted with specialized procedures including ultrasounds and fine needle aspirations.

I bring experience in medication distribution, inventory management, appointment scheduling, patient education, and administrative tasks from roles in clinic, hospital, county sheriff, and municipal offices, and I am bilingual in English and Spanish.
