Hi there — I’m Scheryka “Schey” Howze, a medical professional turned remote work specialist and multi-skilled freelancer. I bring more than just clinical knowledge — I’ve worked with a well-known work-at-home company doing remote tasks, and I understand how to deliver high-quality work from home under pressure.
Here’s what I bring to the table:
Core Skills & Experience
• Data Entry & Transcription — HIPAA-aware, accurate, fast turnaround
• Medical Coding & EMR Management — clean documentation, data integrity
• Virtual Customer Service / Support — patient experience, client relations
• Accounting Support: AP / AR / Reconciliations — managing numbers, balancing books
• Running a small business from home — operations, logistics, multitasking
Because I’ve done it all, I adapt quickly and bring a versatile, “jack of many trades” mindset.
Why I’m different / what you get
As a medical professional, I know how to handle sensitive data, follow protocols, and maintain confidentiality.
My experience in a WAH environment means I already understand remote workflows, communication, and accountability.
When I commit, I deliver. I’m not just doing tasks — I’m looking for efficient solutions, consistency, and quality.
I’m not just “another freelancer.” Outside of work, I love sewing, writing books / blogging, and telling stories. Those creative passions sharpen my eye for detail, narrative flow, and quality.
Ideal Projects / Clients
Health / medical practices needing remote admin support, transcription, EMR work
Small businesses or solo entrepreneurs wanting help with bookkeeping, reconciliations, bookkeeping support
Content projects: blog posts, contributions, writing/editing (especially in medical, health, wellness, personal storytelling)
I’m open to both hourly and project-based work. Let’s talk about how I can help you lighten your load and get things done right.

Hi! I’m Erika, a native bilingual Spanish-English interpreter dedicated to bridging language gaps across all areas of life. With a background in criminal justice and HVAC, I interpret in a wide range of settings—from legal and technical environments to everyday conversations and professional industries.
I have extensive experience interpreting everything from legal proceedings and HVAC jobs to financial calls, car and medical insurance claims, and even vehicle-related services. Whether it’s complex terminology or day-to-day conversations, I bring clarity, accuracy, and cultural understanding to every interaction.
Growing up in a multicultural environment, I understand how overwhelming language barriers can be. It brings me joy to help people feel heard, informed, and empowered—especially when it comes to their rights and important life matters.
If you’re looking for a compassionate and experienced interpreter who can confidently handle a wide range of topics, I’d love to connect.

Senior Expert Access/Excel/VBA/SQL Server Developer/Dot.Net Web/MVC/EF/Azure, Troubleshooter, Optimizer, UI Enhancements, etc...
I have 34+ years of experience working with Access, Excel, and then integrating them into harmonious fluid applications, whether it be for the Desktop, or on a WAN. I have developed using every version of Microsoft Office and SQL Server since inception.
I specialize in Finance and Manufacturing, including CRM, Inventory and Work Order Management, Job Costing, AR, AP, Purchasing and Sales Forecast Automation, etc. I feel those environments are structurally synonymous with most any other scenario. My current experience involves Loan Origination and Servicing.
Working in Finance and Manufacturing, I could not afford to make mistakes. My work ethic developed beginning with my father and being in the Military, in the field of Aviation, where a tiny mistake could cost lives. I am detail oriented with an eye for efficient user friendly complete, from the ground up, to the most custom application imaginable.
I have proven complex methods that are far more efficient than the conventional developer, regardless of how well they score on a test; I am the person that goes the extra mile(s) to adhere to the rules of development while maintaining a fluid user friendly interface. I develop from the ground up or customize pre-existing systems. Whether I am developing in Access or Excel, I always structure the data for easy possible future migration, regardless of the interface. An interface can be easily replicated, but carelessly stored data can be very costly. My interfaces are fluid and user friendly. They utilize as much as the available functionality permits, by using Drop-down and List Boxes, and applying Event Code to link to related data without having to return to a menu or dashboard.
I am extremely fluent in VBA, using various Object Models, i.e. Access, Excel, DAO, ADO, SQL, Class Modules, SQL Server T-SQL, Stored Procedures and Custom Functions and Triggers, SSMS, SSRS, and SSIS, etc. I write code that a lay person can understand. Where this is not possible, I comment the purpose and flow of the Code.
I do not implement limitations, as a lot of developers do, that force the Client to always call on the developer every time a little change is needed. I develop in such a way that considers future expansion. The only time I would ever need to be called upon is to implement new functionality. I prefer to teach Clients the basics so that they can make the subtle physical design changes to the interface that they want, without destroying the integrity of the system. Because I follow the rules of development, the system is straight forward and easily understood.
Core Skills, Software, and Framework are Microsoft Access, Microsoft Excel, VBA programming, SQL Server, Stored Procedures, Azure SQL Db, Aure Data Factory, M365, PowerAutomate, Dot Net Web Applications, Custom Business Application.
