Self-discipline and attention to detail helps me work well on my own in a remote environment. My extensive customer service background and strong computer skills make training others an asset that employers often utilize me for, and I enjoy creating the training programs. A strong base in medical terminology and general medical education, has been an underlying treasure in all of my prior employment.
