What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role in a reputable company that values growth and advancement opportunities.

I am a certified technician with a strong background in sterile processing and surgical technology. My journey began with a focus on ensuring the highest standards of cleanliness and safety in operating rooms. I have honed my skills through various roles, including my current position as a Weekend Lead Sterile Processing Tech at Baylor Scott & White, where I oversee the sterilization of surgical instruments and train new employees.

Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to work independently and efficiently in high-pressure environments. My experience spans multiple healthcare facilities, where I have been responsible for decontaminating, assembling, and sterilizing surgical instruments, as well as collaborating closely with operating room teams to ensure seamless operations. I take pride in my attention to detail and my commitment to maintaining the highest standards of patient safety and care.
