Experienced and energetic. I am a people person and have a friendly positive attitude, attentive to precision histological processes and I take great pride in my job as a histologist. I believe I could benefit your institute with the much experience of years in histotechnology that I have obtained throughout my career. I have experience with CAP Inspections, HT program instructor, team motivator, completed University Hospital Supervisory Academy in San Antonio, I practice “LEAN” management skills in the laboratory that can provide best outcome to reduce errors and provide fast and accurate slides for the pathologist as well as keeping within the budget of the facility. Please call me at your best convenience. I would love a chance to personally introduce myself and perhaps be of assistance in your facility. 2
