Excellent communicator, detail oriented, organized, independent, positive attitude, team player and looking for a role that will help create new skills and challenge old ones to further blossom and expand. Highly dedicated to the importance of preventative care, closing gaps in care, making sure to perform thorough assessments, remain objective and know where my resources are, as I don’t know everything. In addition, very comfortable with end of life care and conversations, enjoy working in all parts of the community and facilities, and know that the words “it’s not my job” have never nor will ever come out of my mouth. Without a team, you are a silo. In my years of work, a silo is just that, one person with one mind and one perspective. A team, is a group of minds coming together to share each perspective and idea. Together we make one whole idea/perspective. One team, many minds, driven for success, no one left behind or unheard. That’s my motto.
