I consider myself a dedicated, responsible & reliable employee. Working customer service for so long has taught me to work well under stress & to have patience. I am a fast learner & very detail oriented & organized. I have experience with computers & phones & am more than ready to start my career at UK. Being bilingual I feel my skills are needed in healthcare more than ever. I would like to be able to offer my skills at the College of Dentistry to make patient experience as smooth as possible,
