By developing new ways to streamline in-practice workflows, I guided our clients to save money and increase their bottom line. I have the ability to communicate complex IT processes to the non-technical person and bridged the gap between the centralized IT department and end users. I am skilled at troubleshooting a variety of issues over the phone and through email. I developed initial and remedial training sessions for end users and documentation of best practices for NextGen and RCx Rules to increase effective use of the software.

I served as the primary contact for all departments in the building and led two employee trainings, including one on the "FISH" philosophy. I produced online training modules in order to cross-train employees as well.
