When everything feels urgent, I start by getting clear on what’s truly time-sensitive and what’s high-impact. I usually take a few minutes at the start of each day to map out deadlines, check in with any key stakeholders, and then rank my tasks based on urgency and importance. I lean on tools like Google Calendar, reminders, and task lists to break projects into manageable steps. For example, if I’m prepping a marketing deck that’s due by end-of-day, but also need to update a financial model, I might block focused time for the deck first and set a checkpoint to get the model done before the day ends.

When I worked as a receptionist at HealthSource Chiropractic, maintaining accurate patient data was a core part of my role. I was responsible for scheduling, updating patient files, and ensuring that all information was correct across both our digital system and physical paperwork. To keep everything accurate and aligned, I made it a habit to double-check patient details during check-in, like verifying phone numbers and insurance information, and immediately update the system if anything had changed. I also communicated regularly with providers and billing staff to make sure any treatment notes or changes were logged correctly and reflected in our scheduling system.

During my internship with Lexington-Richland School District, I helped track participation and resource distribution for a student wellness program. While it wasn’t financial data, it was operational in nature and required organizing a lot of moving pieces. I built a spreadsheet system in Excel that tracked which schools received specific outreach materials, how many students were engaged, and what follow-ups were needed. I used filters, conditional formatting, and simple formulas to make it easier for the team to quickly assess progress and gaps.
