Summary

I just received my Certified Professional Coder certification, along with a medical terminology certification and I am looking for an opportunity to advance my career into the medical transcription field where I can use my skills and experience of 10+ years of dental and pharmacy insurance, claims and billing. I really enjoy typing and proof-reading. I am a very dependable and loyal hard worker while also having an energetic, upbeat personality. I would love a role as a medical transcriptionist, but I am also open to any transcription position. I am excited to start this journey and I'm willing to learn anything and everything I can to succeed in this role.
