About
I am a passionate Health Information Management student at Charter Oak State College, graduating in August 2026. I have maintained over a 3.96 GPA, earned Highest Honors, and was inducted into the Alpha Sigma Lambda National Honor Society for ranking in the top ten percent of my college. My academic work reflects my commitment to excellence, integrity, and lifelong learning.
My professional experience includes claims analysis, Medicare support, billing, and patient advocacy. These roles have strengthened my interest in data integrity, healthcare compliance, and patient safety. I am passionate about improving the accuracy, efficiency, and ethical standards of healthcare information systems.
I am pursuing graduate studies in Health Data Analytics and Informatics to develop advanced skills in data analysis, information governance, and evidence-based decision making. My long-term goal is to move into a leadership role where I can use data to support safer and more effective healthcare systems.
I value service, academic achievement, and supporting others. As an adult learner balancing school, work, and family responsibilities, I strive to lead by example and encourage others to pursue their goals with confidence and determination.
