Summary

I have worked in Law Enforcement for over 20 years and worked hard at it. From city policing, county policy and Airport policing. I did a 2 year stunt as an Evidence Clerk. Responded to Narcotic raids to crime collect crime evidence. In these 20 years of working in law enforcement, I have received countless of att-a-boy letters from police officers, Chiefs and Court judges. They have praised me in my work, professionalism and countless customer service. I took my job very serious and can say in theses 20 years of working this type of environment everyone came home safe.

Unfortunately, I needed to leave the career that I truly loved for medical issues.

I started a new career being a Medical Biller and Coder with zero experience. I worked at it and yes, it was hard. But I never gave up. I am a hard worker and flexible.
