About

A Detail-Oriented Specialist in Insurance Verification & Prior Authorization

With 6 years of healthcare experience as a Medical Laboratory Technician and formal training through Kariamed Academy's Medical Virtual Assistant certification program, I bring a HIPAA-compliant, detail-driven approach to healthcare administration. My expertise spans the full pre-appointment process — from insurance verification and prior authorization to patient intake, scheduling, and EMR documentation.

I work confidently across platforms including DrChrono, SimplePractice, Availity, Calendly, and Google Workspace — adapting quickly to any system a practice uses. What sets me apart is a precision and consistency mindset — catching potential delays or coverage issues before they become denials or missed appointments.
