SUMMARY

. Completed and received BS Biological Sciences in 3.5 years, and

with a 3.5 GPA.

. Bilingual, English/Spanish surgical technician and first assist

with 3 years experience in the operating room. Specialize in

General Surgery, with an emphasis and expertise in laparoscopic

surgery.

. Exceptional anticipation and focus while participating in the

surgical procedures to minimize distractions and loss of time

for the surgeons during procedures. Most times, this results in

significant reduction in anticipated surgery times.

ACHIEVEMENTS

Selected to work in a General Surgery Clinic as a first assist

. Organizational skills and maturity resulted in assignment as the

assistant manager of central sterile supply which supported the

medical needs of the Academy and associated military community.

. Recognized as an excellent operating room technician by many

surgeons in General Surgery and Orthopedics.

. As a result of my strong motivation, excellent attitude and high

scores, was offered a special assignment to the Air Force

Academy. Because of the high profile of the medical operations

at this prestigious Air Force facility, assignment there is only

by invitation for individuals who excel in training, and rarely

to someone straight out of technical training.

. Surgical team efficiency contributed to reducing operating time

in laparoscopic gastric bands by as much as 50 percent.
