What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values teamwork and offers opportunities for growth.

I am a highly skilled and compassionate certified blood collections technician with extensive experience in performing donor health histories, physical examinations, and blood donations. My exceptional organizational and multitasking abilities allow me to maintain a calm demeanor in high-pressure situations, ensuring that every donor feels comfortable and secure during their experience.

In addition to my technical skills, I have a proactive and attentive approach as a front-of-house bartender, where I excel in training and coaching new bartenders on recipe memorization. My strong leadership abilities have been instrumental in supervising a diverse team, fostering a positive work environment that prioritizes excellent communication and teamwork.
