Summary
Above all else I pride myself on my professionalism. I have worked in healthcare for the past 9 years and have gained a wide range of experience from both the military and private sectors. I have worked in both austere field environments and busy hospitals. I have filled the role of the technician out providing direct patient care as well as many manager roles. Much of my professional career has had a large emphasis on training and developing the next generation of providers and it is something I find much passion in. I feel my experience, unique perspective, and mindset will be a worthwhile addition to your organization.
