About

Professional summary

I am an Army Veteran and administrative professional with more than 10 years of experience supporting members, veterans, clients, and internal teams in healthcare, government, customer service, and self-employed environments.

I bring strong administrative support capabilities, including scheduling, calendar management, documentation, data entry, records management, proofreading, and coordination across multiple systems. I am known for staying calm, organized, and detail-oriented while managing competing priorities.

My customer support background includes resolving complex benefit, coverage, claim, and service questions with patience, professionalism, and clear communication. I have supported sensitive healthcare and public-assistance processes while maintaining confidentiality and accuracy.

I work effectively independently and remotely, using Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, CRM and case-management systems, and AI productivity tools. I am Google AI Essentials certified and apply generative AI, prompting, and responsible AI practices to improve research, drafting, planning, and operational efficiency.

I am seeking a remote administrative or customer support role where I can combine my service mindset, healthcare and government support experience, organizational skills, and commitment to delivering reliable client and member experiences.
