I love helping people! I truly do enjoy when the customer or client is satisfied!

Always greet clients/patients with a smile because that sets the tone of the appointment.  I set goals every day to achieve, whether it been calling patients/clients to reschedule or referrals to get accomplished in a timely manor.  Its always my main goal to make sure that appointment goes as smooth as possible!  It's not about me, it's about them!  I love working with others!  If I have completed  my task, I offer to help my fellow co-workers.  I also don't mind asking for help to make sure every situation is handled effectually. Keeping a positive attitude is key!
