Summary

I am applying for the position of Clinical Manager for SonoBello Tampa. I can utilize the experience and skills that I've acquired since the start of my employment with Sonobello in 2018 to smoothly advance from Lead LPN to Clinical manager. I work extremely well under pressure and with very little supervision. I'm an Organized and dependable candidate successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. Willingness to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals. As an empathetic nurse I'm able to provide quality care at all times as well as manage all clinical needs.
