Summary
I got hired at Vital Path to be in the chemical/cleaning department. I cleaned and inspected the medical parts for the whole building. I worked full time on the Boston Scientific Account. This was my main client that I worked very close with the engineer. I cleaned the Boston parts in Pickle Acid/Water. Dried, inspected, packaged and sent in to QC.I did not run the machines.
When we were slow on Boston I got cross trained in the clean room. I ran Spirit 2 machine cutting small rings. I also cleaned and inspected on this account.

Accomplishments
I was a CNA for 18 years. It was time for a change but still wanted to work in the medical field. I loved working at Vital Path. I was good at multitasking several accounts and worked close with all the engineers. I am a go getter and like to stay busy.
I worked 1st shift then this summer they needed help on 3rd shift in the clean room so I went and worked 3rd shift. On September 9, 20214 they cut all of us on 3rd shift and were not running it anymore. I could not go back to 1st shift ( they told me I could) so I lost my job.
