What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my surgical skills while fostering a collaborative and supportive work environment.

I am a dedicated surgical technologist with extensive experience in healthcare, esthetics, and restaurant management. My journey began in restaurant management, which provided me with valuable leadership skills and a strong work ethic. After pursuing my passion for esthetics, I furthered my education to become a surgical technologist, driven by my commitment to patient care and safety.

In my current role at LCMC Health, I excel in anticipating surgeons' needs and providing critical support during surgical procedures. My experience as a Lead Surgical Tech has honed my ability to mentor new hires and ensure a positive work environment. I take pride in my adaptability and problem-solving skills, which have been essential in high-pressure situations.

Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to lead teams and manage operations effectively. My background in esthetics and restaurant management has equipped me with a unique perspective on customer service and teamwork, allowing me to thrive in diverse environments.
