What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to grow my skills while contributing to patient care and operational excellence.

Upon entering the healthcare industry, I have mastered the foundational learning of laboratory flow. My motivation stems from opportunities to increase my skill set and help drive the business to meet milestones in a timely manner. I find this career path invigorating and fulfilling.

Currently, I am working as an Oncology Specimen Processor II at Quest Diagnostics, where I handle irreplaceable samples and collaborate closely with client services to ensure proper sample management. My experience includes meeting quotas for processing specimens while maintaining quality care for patients' samples. I have developed a strong understanding of how specimen processing impacts the testing laboratory and the complex relationships between tests ordered and received.

In my previous role as General Manager at Awesome Doughnut LLC, I streamlined operations and mentored employees, focusing on enhancing customer satisfaction. I am committed to continuous improvement and look forward to leveraging my skills in a challenging new role.
