What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a healthcare role where I can combine phlebotomy, specimen processing, and dialysis patient support while partnering closely with nurses. I value safety, clear communication, and a team that appreciates reliable, bilingual customer service.

I’m a healthcare worker with over 10+ years of experience and a strong history of dialysis work. I’ve built my career around phlebotomy and medical support—collecting and processing specimens, taking proper precautions with patient care, and delivering exceptional, bilingual customer service.

In roles including Phlebotomist Site Coordinator and PCT/Phlebotomist, I set up and operate dialysis machines, perform and record patient observations (vital signs and weight), obtain blood samples and cultures, and help ensure accurate prep for shipment. I also handle the operational side of care—answering phones, inputting orders, stocking supplies, and coordinating with nurses—because I’m committed to patient safety, reliability, and making every shift run smoothly.
