I am currently working at St Joseph Hospital as a patient transporter. I volunteered in the Transportation department of Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, Illinois. The time I spent working in the hospital inspired me to enroll in college so that I could further my education and career in the medical field. I enjoy speaking with people and solving problems. I have also been a hardworking server who thrives under pressure and goes above and beyond to create unforgettable guest experiences. Six plus years serving in a high energy night club and with large groups in pool side cabanas at a five star resort.
I look forward to working in the medical field. I have found my passion. I enjoy helping people, especially when they need it most.
