Christina Ditchkofsky

Accustomed to fast-paced settings and adept at adjusting to last-minute changes, I excel under pressure and am frequently commended for the quality and speed of my work. As a master 's-prepared registered nurse, I am pursuing internship opportunities in writing and editing while completing my Master of Arts in Professional Writing. I served as the chair-elect on the shared governance committee at the National Institutes of Health. I led meetings for over 1,000 guests using Microsoft Teams and was responsible for drafting, editing, and ratifying nursing policies and writing a weekly newsletter.
