    • Patient Registration Clerk
      • Sep 2021 - Present

      In the capacity of an Emergency Department Patient Registration Clerk, I answered phones, directed calls, and nurtured a working knowledge of relevant extensions and the inner-workings of the hospital departments; met the needs of many different parts of the facility throughout the workday; gained familiarity with our billing system through gently requesting copays for Emergency Department visits or helping visitors pay for previous appointments when the Cashier's Office was closed; and acquainted myself more closely with fax machines, copiers, and scanners.As a Patient Registration Clerk, I needed to handle handled sensitive personal information discreetly and professionally while parsing and recording the relevant data for each case succinctly and clearly for later review. Often, I had to diffuse situations with either impatient or frightened potential patients until they were able to be seen by registered medical personnel, while maintaining a pleasant and welcoming demeanor as the face of the facility. Speed and accuracy with a variety of online tools and computer software (e.g. Meditech) for both insurance verification and charting purposes was a necessary, learned skill in order for the medical staff to have complete access to the patients' demographics and medical histories.

      • Aug 2020 - Aug 2021

      As an Emergency Room Screener, I was required to keep abreast of a multitude of policy changes, as well as explaining to patients and visitors the effects these changes had on their experience at the hospital. I fielded questions, directed patients to their relevant departments, recorded pertinent data, answered phones, maintained the Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) stock of my station, and sanitized surfaces, as well as managing an ever shifting variety of other responsibilities during the height of COVID-19.

      I handled both preparation for a shift and closing down the Halfway house; managing the needs of customers; restocking beverages and snack-foods; cleaning the work-space; creating made-to-order food; and handling money. Excellent customer service, from anticipating client desires to recognizing regulars by name, was demanded of the employees and we did our best to rise to the challenge.

      • Jun 2017 - Aug 2017

      After vacationers vacated the premises, my team was responsible for returning the home to tip-top shape in anticipation of new clients. We cleaned the domiciles from top to bottom, scouring bathrooms, vacuuming, and laundering bedclothes, in addition to restocking complimentary items such as soaps and miniature shampoos. Each house needed to be completed within a certain amount of time, meaning we had to perfect our methods in order to meet the standards of the company before the deadline.

      • Sep 2016 - Jun 2017

      I balanced the schedules of four separate people, in addition to maintaining the structure and upkeep of the household. As responsibilities were added or subtracted, I learned to be flexible in order to meet the needs of the family. I mediated arguments, determined fair solutions, and split my attention equally among the children. Household rules were upheld, extracurriculars seen to, and schoolwork managed.

    • Dining Room Server
      • Sep 2015 - Dec 2015

      There were a variety of stations within the Knollcrest Dining Hall, requiring me to quickly adapt to and internalize many new skills. From actively cooking food at the ovens, to handling the hot mass-prepared food in the serving lines, to scooping ice-cream, to refilling the breakfast bar, to creating made-to-order wraps and sandwiches, to monitoring the salad bar, to maintaining the cleanliness of the general cafeteria, each position required remembering a laundry list of expectations and performing them in a timely manner. It required cooperation and communication with my fellow dining room servers, trusting them to fulfill their roles to the best of their ability so that I could perform well, too. We shared a small space and learned how to fill in the gaps without stepping on toes. Show less

      I worked closely with a team of servers, prepping the dining hall and buffet bars prior to each meal, cleaning and restocking tables, clearing plates, refilling waters, addressing dietary needs, and breaking down the hall afterwards. We split the hall amongst us, so we could be certain a server was circulating in each corner of the room, interacting with customers, answering questions, and fulfilling needs. In a chaotic environment, we were the thread of order that held it together.
