*********@*****.***

I hope to grow and advance in the phlebotomy field. In my 18-year career, I have gained much experience and have become highly skilled in this department. Additionally, I have learned how to continue providing the highest level of patient care while also adhering to/complying with all Covid-19 protocols and safety measures (due to spending much of 2020 working almost exclusively in the Covid-positive units at Baystate Medical Center). I believe I would be an absolute asset to the department if hired for the position of Inpatient/Outpatient Phlebotomist.
