Summary

I am naturally a leader in the teams I join and like to problem solve. We may not always have the best circumstances or supplies, but I can usually make it work! Communicate clearly, timely and can alert the doctors to impending complications before they arise. I am quite comfortable working with emotional situations and de-escalating upset clients while trying to problem solve to validate their concerns, address what we can while still maintaining working relationships and trust.

Reading input from customers using the AI on Scribble to see if the transcript was correct, alter the transcript to be medically correct, correct spelling and accurate to the conversation.
