Medical Assistant

Summary
I’m a highly motivated retired Medical Assistant with proven history of superior performance. I’m at a point I want to change professions. I’d love to join the family of Cannabis and work in a Medical Marijuana Dispensary. I multitask and prioritize workloads with little or no supervision. I’m detail-oriented and professional. I want to bring medical background and team-building skills. I’m an organized and dependable candidate successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. I am absolutely willing to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals.
