Passionately seeking to expand my career within Nemours and transition into the clerical side versus the clinical and patient facing side that I have been accustomed to for the last 23 years. I am organized and very detail oriented, a fast learner. I work well independently as well as with others. I adapt quickly to stressful situations with ease.
