Summary

Organized Medical Office Leader offering 16 years of experience as a Medical Assistant. During which I also developed a 2 year background in Ophthalmology as a Technician. I currently obtain a (remote) Administrative Office Management position with the provider I have been with for over 2 years. Although I am deeply sadden to be leaving the practice, due to relocating to another state, I am excited for the new chapter coming ahead. I am seeking a FT position as a Medical Healthcare Professional. I don't mind diving deeper into the Medical Field. By utilizing my various experiences and skills in a less familiar environment, I will be able to attain new knowledge and growth. I'm confident, with my strengths and ambition to learn, I will soon be proficient in any role I will be engaging in.
