Summary
I have worked in two very difference fast paced, high intensity environments between a restaurant and working in a hospital. High intensity and quick decision making is where I thrive. I am a goal-oriented, and self motivated individual with a strong drive to learn, grow, and gain experiences. I have worked in a hospital for over a year now, and it has really opened my eyes to who I want to be, and the ways I stand out. I am a compassionate, loving person who really just wants to see people succeed. I have proved to others, and more importantly to myself that I will put others needs over my desires no mater what.
