What I'm looking for

I seek a role in a supportive environment that values teamwork and patient care.

I am a dedicated healthcare professional with extensive experience in patient care and a strong commitment to ensuring safety and productivity in my work environment. My journey began with a focus on human services, where I developed a passion for assisting individuals in reaching their optimal potential. Throughout my career, I have worked in various roles, including as an Ophthalmology Clinic Tech and a Direct Care Provider, where I honed my skills in patient interaction and support.

At the University of Iowa, I collaborated with a team to conduct visual fields and assist patients through their tests, ensuring they felt comfortable and cared for. My experience in Central Sterile Services further solidified my understanding of the importance of meticulous documentation and adherence to safety protocols. I take pride in maintaining a clean and welcoming environment for patients, as I believe that a positive atmosphere is crucial for their overall experience.

With a background in manufacturing and customer service, I bring a diverse skill set to any team. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am eager to contribute my expertise to a company that values teamwork and dedication. I am ready to relocate quickly for the right opportunity and look forward to making a meaningful impact in my next role.
