Summary

I have worked in health insurance for the last 9 years and am ready to make a change in my career. I have spent a lot of time in administration but I have traveled a lot in my early 20s and that has given me a lot of interactions with different cultures and types of people. That and working with people gives me broad experience with customer facing and quality assurance.
