Additional Information

I consider myself and take pride in being a team player not only for my teammates but with the patient in mind at all times, therefore it creates the best environment for the patient and their family members.

Please notice that the last places of employment did not last at any length due to the fact that my husband became ill and I took care of him until his death recently.
