I was born in Texas, grew up in various areas around the south of the United States until finally landing in Arizona. I went to school at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. After moving to Arizona, I attended Pima Medical Institute where I studied Medical Billing and Coding and earned my Medical Billing & Coding certificate while working full-time as a caregiver. After earning my certificate from Pima Medical Institute, I started working as a Medical Claims Processor at Oscar Health. Being a technical nerd and able to learn things on-the-fly, I quickly became a happy team member to the finance claims crew at Oscar. I have such an amazing team and I value working with everyone, even if it is remotely! Unfortunately, since I wanted to focus on a more technical job, I had to leave caregiving. I will always cherish the fond memories I made with my team of caregivers and the residents I cared for though - I still think about you all quite frequently!Currently, I am pursuing a career in Data Analytics by taking an accelerated training program through Merit America - which I absolutely love so far! If anyone wants to get into a technical field, I highly recommend Merit America - I just enjoy the good vibes and wealth of knowledge they bestow upon you!
