Summary
With 15 years as a respiratory therapist, I’ve built a strong foundation in reviewing patient charts, documenting accurately, and working within electronic medical records every day. I’m detail-oriented, organized, and comfortable working with complex clinical information, and I’m excited to transition into a medical records role where I can focus more on the data and documentation side of healthcare.
