Additional Information

Please note that the shorter work periods and change of positions in several organizations, are due to my previous student Visas (from August 2015 to December 2021) and work authorizations that were limited and contained expiration dates at the time.

I am currently allowed to work in the United States due to my Employment Authorization (EAD card), as any other American citizen and without limitations or expiration dates on employment.

Background

Originally from Brazil, I've been in the U.S. for nearly 9 years, acquiring adaptability, language proficiency, and strong interpersonal communication skills. Raised in a medical family, I gained early exposure to medical office management alongside earning management degrees. As a former collegiate athlete, I honed time management, drive, and urgency skills. An eager learner, I thrive in diverse settings, bringing commitment and fast learning to any role.
