Summary

Seeking an opportunity to utilize and expand on my leadership skills in order to inspire an already high-performing team by fostering a culture of collaboration, accountability, growth, and continuous program improvement. I’ve built a strong foundation in leadership over the past few years but would love to expand on that knowledge and skill base to play a more integral role in the business, financial and strategic aspects of our Rehab Department.
