What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my phlebotomy skills while fostering a collaborative team environment and promoting patient care excellence.

I am a dedicated and detail-oriented Certified Phlebotomy Technician with extensive experience in blood collection, donor eligibility assessment, and patient care. My background includes working in fast-paced environments where I ensure quality control and compliance while delivering exceptional patient experiences. I pride myself on my strong leadership and organizational skills, which have been honed through my experience supervising teams and managing clinical operations.

Currently, I serve as a Team Lead Phlebotomist at LifeSouth Community Blood Centers, where I perform venipuncture and automated blood collection procedures with precision. I assess donor eligibility through thorough interviews and physical evaluations, ensuring adherence to regulatory standards. My role also involves mentoring a team of phlebotomists and overseeing daily operations to maintain high-quality donor care and operational efficiency.

Previously, I worked as a Medical Assistant and Phlebotomist at AC Spine & Wellness, where I performed diagnostic blood sample collections and assisted with patient education. My diverse experience in healthcare, combined with my certifications and commitment to patient safety, positions me as a valuable asset in any clinical setting.
