*****************@*****.***
I started my career in sterile processing at a plant where we sterilized linen for centers in the Medical Center, San Antione & Dallas. I packaged packs as they came out of the sterilizer & labeled them for each center. I enjoy my career, just wanted to go into the hospitals to learn all the different instruments and procedures. My career brought me to many awesome places and people who taught me so many things, I love what I do and wouldn’t change a thing. I was trained to treat every person that comes into our center for surgery the same way if it was a family member. I do take pride for the work I do.
