Summary

Empathetic, effective and motivated Medical Assistant combines extensive clinical experience and knowledge with compassion. Detailed understanding of protocols governing medical test preparation and documentation. Vital asset for processing medical and insurance claims.

Strong customer service skills and ability to educate and inform.

I left work in 2022 to care for my elderly father.

He sadly passed away and I am now ready to embark on a new career.

I love talking with people and helping them, this time I would love to do that remotely from my home.

A new adventure, a new way to use my personal skills, and hopefully bring a smile to another by kindness and solving their issues.
