Summary

Professional medical receptionist with over 25 years of experience seeking a remote position, full-time or part-time employment with a highly respected organization. It does not necessarily have to be medical as I am interested in so much more. Proven ability to effectively multitask and thrive in high-pressure environments, accompanied by an excellent record of producing positive patient/customer experiences. Very capable of working independently without supervision.

Work History

Remote Medical Receptionist

Cornerstone Health Care/Modern Psychiatry
05.2023 - Current

Presently working for a new medical practice, remotely, telehealth only. It was initially a full-time position but changed to part-time as the company is not currently ready to hire full-time employees.

I am looking for a full-time remote position. Part-time would also be okay so I can continue with my position at Modern Psychiatry.

I have great knowledge and understanding of modern technology.
