Patient-focused Medical Assistant with 12 years experience in healthcare. I've been a medical assistant for over 6 years. Before becoming a medical assistant I worked as a nursing assistant and a direct support professional. Trained in patient care and successful in working as part of a team to assist individuals with diverse needs. Good at maintaining composure in stressful situations. I have always had a passion for helping people however i can. I truly believe that in healthcare it is "one team, one fight". When you work in healthcare you work for the patients. The ultimate goal in healthcare is to take care of people with compassion and care.
