Summary

I am a dedicated, dependable professional looking for a career I can advance in. I have been working in billing for the past 9 years, including law, engineering, and supply/warehouse billing. I enjoy being busy and am comfortable handling many projects at once. Most recently I have specialized in billing appeals. Having duties that are exclusive to me is something I find fulfilling at my job. I adapt easily to change and am a very quick learner. I take great pride in the work I do. I excel in both an individual and team setting.
