Additional Information
Between my time in the US Navy, and 25+ years in a Surgical environment, I am very good at working with a team.
I have no problem taking initiative to lead, or to work with others to formulate a solution to problems. I feel my personality is one of my greatest assets. I can be very agreeable and funny- but, also very assertive when the situation dictates.
