Summary
Experience working in Home Health, acute hospital, IRF, and SNF as a COTA/L. I have trained new employees. Prior to that I was an OT tech at two rehab facilities in Las Vegas and Florida. I am fluent in English and Spanish, and speak some French, German, Arabic, and Indonesian. I have traveled extensively which is helpful in dealing with the multi-cultured Las Vegas and Charlotte population. My previous experience was creating, owning, and developing businesses in varied sectors which has enabled me to acquire excellent interpersonal and managerial skills.
