Thank you for the opportunity to submit my resume. I am sure that you will find the
qualifications an asset to your company. I have worked in the medical field for 11 years,

a networking tool in the medical profession. These contacts include various medical
professionals within the Texas Medical Center as well as in outlying areas of Houston.
