Summary

- I started my community college's surgical technology program straight after high school. And Im currently close to graduating and completing the requirements to obtain my certification.

- In addition, I believe I have a strong foundation gained through hands-on experience. I've gone to Good Samaritan Hospital and currently Stony Brook Hospital to get my experience and surgery case numbers up.

- I'm now actively seeking an opportunity to start my career as a surgical technologist, with a commitment to continuous skill enhancement and professional growth. I'm excited to contribute to a dynamic healthcare team while delivering exceptional support in surgical settings.
