Work History

Medical Assistant

St. Paul’s pace
El Cajon
01.2023 - 09.2023

I worked as a receptionist for six months, where I answered phone calls, managed patient appointments, and handled various paperwork. I then transferred to another position for three months to help cover a staff shortage, where I primarily took patients’ vital signs and assisted with phone calls and administrative paperwork.

Medical Assistant

Optum Serve
Chula Vista
05.2022 - 11.2022

Prepared COVID testing supplies, greeted patients, and assisted with testing by either administering the test or explaining the procedure so patients could perform it themselves. After receiving the test results, I presented them to another staff member for recording in the system.
