Summary
The last ten years of my life have been devoted to working in direct care with clients on a day to day basis. Learning organizational and scheduling skills as well as helping clients achieve their goals documenting clients progress. Trained in HIPPA compliance, First Aid and CPR. In the summer or 2022 I finished my schooling for medical coding and am trying to make the transition to a position more related to my degree. Some of my classes included pharmacology, medical terminology and records management.
