Summary

I am a hardworking and passionate job seeker with strong organizational skills, dependable and give support and empathy to all my clients. Though my experience in the service industry I am able to be upbeat and positive in times of stress. I have a passion for mental health and want to work towards building my experience in a variety of psychiatric settings. While attending the Psychiatric Technician program I was punctual, always completed assignments with accuracy in a timely manner and received positive feedback from all of my instructors and clinical rotation sites.
