Team Profile: Yessica Prato, Customer Service Manager
I started my journey as an international student and immigrant in 2005 when I moved to the US from my home country Colombia. Since then, I’ve attended Kansas State University and traveled through Latin America and Europe. I’ve been with the company for five years and I’m currently the Customer Service Manager. Being bilingual and facing similar challenges like many international students do has encouraged me to work in a field where I can help others and guide them through the complexities of the US healthcare system - both in Español and English.
