HR/ Administrative Associate
The Houston Forensic Science Center was previously a division within HPD but had to separate in 2014. As I came over from the Houston Police Department, I had the same duties as before when it came to office tasks, but I also got to take on the role of making it to crime scenes as part of the Crime Scene Unit. I receive the Crime Scene Reports as well as images and videos and ensure the entire report is complete before filing it electronically as well as physically. I usually need to pull cases or parts of cases for Homicide as well as other concerning divisions. I input roll calls and act as a backup payroll specialist. I have handled payroll in Kronos and accounts receivable in Quickbooks. I am extremely detail oriented as my position has me handle extremely critical cases and crime scenes.

CSR II
As a CSR II for UT Physicians I am in charge of the front. I am the first smiling face a patient is greeted by and I handle their every need. I schedule walk ins, and phone appointments. I check in patients, and collect copayments at time of service. I also handle checking them out as well as dropping charges for the doctors. I make sure the new patients sign the proper consent papers as well as scan in their proper documents. I make the charts for each doctor and know which billing charge tickets are needed for each department and doctor. We do not have a specified check in or check out area so I have mastered multi tasking all these responsibilities at once. I have been trained on HIPAA and can properly protect patients’ information. I make sure that charts are not faced up and that all sensitive matter is promptly put in the proper shred bin.

We were trained to make sales by opening new lines, purchasing accessories or even having the customers sign up for insurance.
