Professional Overview I have thoroughly enjoyed working as a hemodialysis technician/preceptor over thirty years. My experience has afforded me exciting heights in the medical discipline I have chosen. Through practice, I have gained an intimate knowledge of several dialysis machines (e.g. Fresenius Models D, E, H, K & K2, Brawn, Phoenix, Gambros, Baxter 550/1550, Drake Wilox Cobes). It is my intention to continue to grow as a dialysis technician. Employment History 1997 – Present Fresenius Medical Care Baltimore, MD Dialysis Technician, CCHT-DT-CNA
