Melinda Lopez

My name is Melinda Lopez. I am a Business Associate at Mount Sinai Medical Center and hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Health Science. I have over ten years' experience of scheduling appointments. I have demonstrated proficiency in all core finance and administrative functions in this field. Accordingly, I have risen in my career from entry level positions to senior roles of leading teams and overseeing scheduling systems, processes, and procedures. I would describe myself as an open and honest person who doesn't believe in misleading other people and tries to be fair in everything I do. Creativity is key to success in the workplace - a concept I live throughout my interests with running marathons, painting, and boardgames. I am enthusiastic about networking with others and sharing information that assist in solving business problems. Moreover, I am passionate about further learning which enables me to remain competent in the healthcare world.
