Summary
After taking years away from a career to raise a family and support a spouses very demanding active duty Army career, I am fully ready to enter into the healthcare field once again. I have spent the last seven years as a leader in military family communities, holding several volunteer positions.
I am an organized, hardworking, and dependable candidate successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. Willingness to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals.
