A dedicated and driven professional from Highland, NY, I bring a strong background in the insurance industry, holding both Property & Casualty (P&C) and Life, Accident & Health (LAH) licenses in the state of New York. With over a decade of professional experience, I am now pursuing an Associate’s Degree in Medical Coding and Billing at Bryant & Stratton College, where I am proud to be on the Dean’s List.
As a mother of two wonderful children, I balance academic and professional goals with a deep commitment to my family and community. I am actively involved in my local church and regularly participate in community outreach programs. My eldest son plays travel basketball, and I enjoy supporting his team alongside our close-knit family.
With a passion for lifelong learning, a foundation in healthcare and insurance, and a heart for service, I am excited to transition into the healthcare field as a Medical Coding Specialist, where I aim to combine accuracy, integrity, and care in every role I take on.
