Objective My extensive and various clinical acute care positions working in out- patient facilities, such as pain centers,  medical offices ,work site employee health clinics at corporate or industrial settings has developed my techniques in adapting and determining the challenges and resolutions necessary  for any medical and /or safety needs at hand.
 My professional, courteous communication with patients provides them with the education and understanding of the core of the illness or injury and the application of a patient-accountable care plan for a competent, compliant, and effective patient awareness of their health issues.  Educating clients to take medications safely, using alternative pain exercises proactively, and successful rehab and stress management techniques can developed a more holistic approach to one’s modifications that make a difference with comfort and less fatigue in the workplace. Wellness programs can provide a prevention of illness at the workplace. My networking skills have been an asset to those in need. My flexible schedule allows for dependable coverage even with short notice.  My conscientious effort regarding the task at hand offers creative solutions with productive and efficient results. The enthusiasm and dynamics of my approach tries to add some morale enhancing and supportive qualities with my presence.
