Summary

I have specialized in coding for NICU and Psych departments for the last 12 years, with the last 5 years coding for the University of Illinois School of Medicine. My husband and I have purchased a home in Minnesota and plan to relocate when I find a job. My experience as a human resource director and the time I spent teaching theater classes has shaped me into the organized person I am today.

I would be glad to work full or part-time to keep your work queues caught up!
