Summary

I'm a Nurse by profession, but I don't limit myself as a Nurse, I have worked in some of the leading BPO companies in the Philippines as Technical Support Associate. I've worked primarily for US and Australian accounts. I was also fortunate to be part of a health care account as a Clinical Nurse reviewer for pre-authorization process. I’m flexible in any given situation, patient and more than willing to learn more ideas, I believe that I can deliver whatever my clients will be asking me to do, given the chance to be part of the team will really make a difference on my career growth.
