Summary

With a solid educational foundation in business management and administration from the University of Maryland and Montgomery College, I bring over a decade of experience in high-volume billing and accounting, most notably with Adventist Risk Management. There, I adeptly handled complex billing adjustments, ensuring accuracy and compliance, and used database systems to streamline processes. My supervisory skills were demonstrated through leadership roles that required effective coaching and fostering a team-oriented environment, enhancing both employee performance and customer satisfaction. My proficiency in both verbal and written communication has been crucial in training staff, resolving customer issues, and maintaining clear, concise financial reporting. This blend of education, hands-on experience, and communication skills positions me as a highly capable supervisor capable of leading teams in dynamic and challenging settings.
