Summary
Graduated from the Clover Park Technical College MLT program in September, 2023. I have been given the opportunity to work as a generalist at St. Anthony Hospital laboratory where I am able to continue to learn and grow while developing my skills in all areas of the clinical lab. With over 20 years of retail experience, I've gained the interpersonal skills to work cohesively with a variety of personalities. I love being part of a team that shows integrity and holds each other accountable. Ultimately, my goal is to continue my education and complete an MLS program. I am excited to evolve in this field and provide the best possible patient care.
