Maria Roque
Maria was born in Madera, California, where she spent most of her life before moving to Florida. She studied Graphic Design Technology, and she has spent the years since taking everything she could from the jobs she has held. As a Patient Coordinator she keeps the front of the clinic friendly and organized, which is the goal she names herself, for coworkers and patients alike. She understands three languages fairly well and is learning to speak two more, which every so often matters a great deal to the person on the other end of the phone.
What guides the work.
Maria's goal here, in her own framing, is a friendly environment for her coworkers and for our patients. It sounds modest until you have been the one walking in cold, unsure what you owe, unsure whether anybody is expecting you. Friendly is most of the difference. She competed in dance and in the marching band throughout high school, which is work that only looks effortless because somebody drilled the details, and she has treated every job since the same way: learn everything there is to learn, then get the small things right. That is what she brings to a front desk.
Life beyond the front desk.
Maria reads, she writes, and she will tell you that coloring is her favorite pastime. She can play ten different instruments and listens to everything from oldies to hip hop. She is also publishing her first book. At home there is Zoey, the best dog ever by Maria's own account, and there used to be four exotic birds. She loves elephants and cows. It is a long list for one person, and it is fair warning that there is very little you can bring up at the front desk that she cannot talk about.
