BIO

Dedicated Centralized Sterile Technician with more than 5 years of experience providing care to patients in Maryland. My experience focuses on building case carts for the procedures for the last 5 years. I started as a material management tech for supply chain and obtained the CRCST certification for a leadership position and became the specialist of the department. Now i’m ready to dive in deeper on the sterilization processing side. I have worked intensively with them in my stay at medstar and I love all the things I learned. I am confident that i’m a great asset because of my good work ethics and attitude. Most importantly, my ability to work under pressure will help me succeed in this field.
