About

I am a client-facing service and program coordination professional with experience in scheduling, intake conversations, follow-up, records management, teaching, event logistics, and clear communication. My background includes nearly two decades of coaching and client support, direct healthcare exposure as a Physical Therapy Technician, and recent pre-health coursework in anatomy and physiology, medical terminology, chemistry, physics, human development, and statistics. I recently completed a Master’s degree in Project and Program Management and earned my CAPM certification from PMI. That training strengthened my interest in roles that combine organization, communication, service, and operational follow-through. I am currently exploring healthcare support, patient services, program coordination, and administrative coordination roles where I can help people navigate unfamiliar situations, keep information organized, support smooth workflows, and contribute to a positive service experience.
