Summary

With 9 years of experience as a waitress, I transitioned into the medical field for a long-term career. Now, as a certified phlebotomist, I bring almost a decade of customer service expertise from the restaurant industry. Remaining calm and composed under pressure is second nature to me. My communication skills allow me to effectively engage with patients and clients, both as a skilled conversationalist and an attentive listener. I excel at multitasking while prioritizing patient care. My objective is to contribute to the medical field and strive for continuous improvement for not only myself but for my place of business, while doing the job that I love.
