Summary
Backed by an Associate of Applied Science in Paramedicine, I am a seasoned healthcare professional and licensed massage therapist. I have over a decade of combined experience in emergency medical services and therapeutic bodywork as well as a proven ability to provide high-quality, patient-centered care in diverse environments. From spa settings to high-acuity emergency situations, I'm eager to transition my skills in patient assessment, clinical instruction, and compassionate care to support patient wellness and recovery within a hospital setting.
