Summary
I've worked in Healthcare since 2018, with nearly eight years in the ER, working in rural critical access hospitals to large intercity hospitals. I have worked in a COVID ICU overflow in the ER outside Newark, NJ. During my four years as a traveler, I have been asked to stay via extension or permanent hire at every assignment I've been on. I have shown through traveling during the pandemic that I quickly learn a new position, have exemplary critical thinking in a foreign environment, and communicate effectively.
