Re: Medical Records Technician

Dear Employer,

I am very interested in securing a job position in the area of Health

Information Administration. I have my Bachelor of Science Degree in Health

Information Administration from Loma Linda University. My prior work

experiences involved managing the Medical Records departments, supervisor

of medical record technician, coding, medical records analyst, quality

assurance and cancer tumor registry follow-up technician.

When the economy was strong, my husband's income was enough to have me

become a stay-at-home Mom and raise my family and home school my child.

However, the past 3 years has seen my husband's income falter. My daughter

is now a sophomore in College so I am ready to return to the work force.

I have many years of management, coding and medical records technician

experience. And I am ready to pursue my career again. Because of these

hard economic times, I am willing to be flexible and pursue a position as

an entry level supervisor, coder, or medical record clerk.

I have computer skills, an eye for detail, and dependable. I am looking

forward to meeting with you.

Cordially,

Angie Hoashoo, R.R.A.
