Summary
I am committed to being a supportive and effective contributor to what is often a demanding and stressful role. I'm equipped with empathetic interpersonal skills, which allow me to engage with diverse personalities and situations, while ensuring operational continuity. I embrace crisis management as an opportunity to demonstrate resilience and strategic thinking. The logistics of resource allocation, maintaining support of colleagues, all while upholding the standards of care, are what define this very niche profession. Above all, I'm willing and wanting to learn that which I have yet to encounter.
