My diverse background has uniquely prepared me for the critical care environment of the ICU. Serving as an infantryman in the Army for four years honed my ability to remain calm under pressure, make swift, strategic decisions, and work effectively within a team—essential skills for high-acuity patient care. My experience as a medical scribe strengthened my clinical knowledge and reinforced my attention to detail in patient documentation, which is crucial in managing complex cases. Additionally, my 15-year career as a pastry chef instilled in me precision, time management, and the ability to perform under stress, all of which translate seamlessly into the fast-paced, high-stakes setting of the ICU. I am eager to bring my dedication, adaptability, and strong work ethic to your team to provide exceptional patient care.
