Summary
I've been working as a RMA since 2015. I started my Externship in April 2015 with Dobin Internal Medicine in Bowie, MD. I was then hired by Dr. Dobin after I completed my Externship. I moved to SC March 2020 and I am moving to the Greenville area in April 2025. I am hardworking and dedicated to my work. In the past 10 years working as a medical assistant I have found a passion for what I do and I am excited to continue to further my career.
