Mature, harding working, experienced professional

With over 30 years of hands on experience in this forever changing and challenging world, I am looking for a full time position with a company or firm that will keep me leaning something new everyday. I love a challenge and I don't mind putting in the hours to get the job done accurately. I have been fortunate enough to have experience in several different professions. My heart is in healthcare where I have over 6 years experience, from medical receptionist, medical billing/coding specialist, patient financial counselor, collection supervisor to admissions supervisor. I am a people person and can work with the public as well as with fellow employees and management. I am willing to relocate if necessary. I would like the oppotunity to discuss possible employment.
