Hello! My name is Kerensa Benavides; I just finished my medical coding and billing certification here at BU! I am now pursuing my associate degree in HIM Management. I love anything that includes the outdoors, from hiking to camping and anything in between! I am a mother of 5 beautiful children, and they are my life! I always want to be there for people and help them in any way I can! I heard something the other day and they said, “Don’t shut down, break it down!” That is a great way to go to school and get everything done. We can do it together!
Feel free to contact me at the email/text/phone below! Talk to you soon!

I am so excited to be on the ACT team. I spent more than 30 years in healthcare administration and reimbursement within hospitals, clinics, and large medical practices and I love sharing my knowledge with others. I have 3 certifications from the AAPC: the Certified Professional Coder (CPC), and the Certified Professional Biller (CPB) and the CRC Certified Risk Adjustment Coder and through AHIMA I have the CCS Certified Coding Specialist.
My husband Greg and I adopted our grandchildren, so I have a 12- & 14-year-old at home along with my 2 dogs Thor & Zoe. When I am not working, I am off with all of them. Or I’m doing homework because I am currently in the master’s program for public health here at Bryan.
Students (you) are the best part of my job.
