Samantha May-Howell
Wichita
Summary
I am a friendly and warm customer-centric professional. I am very patient and orderly with articulate written and oral communication skills. I am interpersonal. I can organize and prioritize my own workload effectively.
I took a home educational hiatus while tending to my children. While I was still self employed, I took the opportunity to work towards tech school so I could enter into the medical field. I am currently looking for a rewarding position to use my newfound skills to provide a positive experience for customers.
