Successfully created and maintained a small business, at the age of 17, for 13 years before a career change. Built and sustained my business through my work ethic, attention to detail, customer relations, and overall organizational skills.

Supervised, trained, and delegated employees, as well as worked beside them. Oversaw accounts, payroll, supplies management, and customer relations.

Business advertisement was entirely by word of mouth, which speaks to my honesty, hard work, organizational skills, and drive to ALWAYS go above and beyond. Owning and operating a business built a much stronger nurse.
