Summary
Although my work experience has been primarily in customer service and kitchen, I am trying to take the skills that I have acquired through out my 5 years of working and the education that i have received from the Community College of Denver and the accredited Surgical technologist program to start my career in the medical felid and most importantly to start helping people by providing outstanding care using my knowledge as a surgical technologist. My goal is to ensure that each patient feels like they are being heard, understood, and respected while in the OR and to give them an efficient and effective surgery for the betterment of their livelihood.
