Currently Radiation Therapist Aspiring To Get Into Information Technology Career
Holly Ridge,NC
Summary
Experienced Radiation therapist with over 8 years of experience in Radiation Oncology clinical and hospital setting. Excellent reputation for resolving problems and improving customer satisfaction. I am currently working towards taking the next steps in my career and working towards Comptia A+, Comptia Network+ and Comptia Sec+ certificates. I have a strong background working with technology and it has always been a great passion for me. Working in Radiation oncology and learning the technologies to treat cancer has given me much respect for the hardware and software needed to carry out these treatments. I have come to realize that i still have much to grow in my career and now see that i can continue to educate myself and move forward with the same passion in information technology. I am in search of a full-time position that offers professional challenges in IT and can help me grow within in the company and the skills needed to to advance in this field.
