Summary
10+ years ago I started my journey in healthcare on R3(MedSurg) at Maine Medical Center. Patient care has been one of the most challenging and definitely the most rewarding aspect of my life thus far. I work hard. I strive to give all of my patients the best possible care. I value teamwork as I find it helps ensure every patient is receiving said best possible care. Additionally I strongly believe that coworkers supporting each other makes for a better work environment. I am experienced and knowledgeable. I like to take advantage of opportunities to learn new skills.
