In my two years within the Imaging department at Covenant, I have served as a central point of coordination between technical imaging workflows and administrative excellence. My role is built on ensuring that patient data is handled with precision and that communication between facilities remains seamless to provide the highest level of patient care.

Imaging & File Management: I oversee the end-to-end lifecycle of imaging files, from initial intake to secure storage and distribution. This includes troubleshooting technical issues within the imaging software to prevent delays in diagnosis. Inter-Facility Coordination: I act as a primary liaison for numerous outlying medical facilities. By managing these external relationships and requests, I ensure that patient records are transferred efficiently and that satisfactory care is maintained across the healthcare network.

Professional Communication: I manage high-volume Microsoft Outlook correspondence, handling sensitive patient information and administrative requests with strict adherence to confidentiality and efficiency.
