Summary

I am just finishing my schooling for medical billing and coding.. I am a fully hands on person, so I will be a quick learner when I get into the job. I work very well in a team setting, as well as on my own. I am a goal oriented person, and will always try with all of me to reach the goal given. I don't call out unless I am seriously sick, and I am ALWAYS on time, usually early to be honest. I have done medical collections as well, and loved it. I do not have my license yet, would like to get hands on experience and then after a few months, apply to take my test.
