Summary
Adept at fostering patient trust and achieving successful therapy outcomes, I leveraged my expertise in evaluating discharge needs and managing personnel at Glinn & Giordano Physical Therapy as well as Kern Medical Center. My background encompasses comprehensive care planning and treatment of diverse medical conditions, highlighting my evaluative skills and patient-centered approach. Due to my prior experiences as a patient in a hospital for an extended period of time, acute rehabilitation center, and multiple outpatient settings, I believe I can empathize and better understand the needs of the patient to facilitate and optimize their journey to recovery both physically and mentally.
