Professional Summary
Recently graduated with an Associate of Applied Technology degree and the successful completion of the Medical Laboratory Technician program at Clover Park Technical College in September 2023. I had the opportunity to complete clinical rotations at Madigan Army Medical Center where I gained valuable insight and exposure to the workflow of a busy hospital laboratory.
I am thrilled to begin this new chapter and apply the fundamental knowledge gained in the MLT program along with the extremely beneficial student-intern laboratory experience at Madigan. With 20+ years of retail experience, I am confident these skills will translate to a great work ethic in the lab and enable me to provide the best possible patient care.
