Summary
I have extensive lab experience. I was a Phlebotomist for over 10 years before becoming a CRT. Specializing in Neonates and Pediatrics. My favorite times were taking care of the geriatrics and hearing their stories.
I have been a very active member of my husbands unit FRG, and volunteered at the schools my son has previously attended. I have been out of the quote medical field for 7 years being a stay at home mom and supporting my husbands army career. My husband is retired and I am looking to get back to work in the quote medical field.
