As a healthcare provider, I will continue to lead by example. Never to manipulate, mislead, or to expect something of others that I would never do myself. Education has and will always be continuing for me to keep up with the ever-changing methods and information within healthcare.
Below there is an extended view of the work throughout my life. It is varied and vast. Resumes are to be short to keep the attention of the reader. It is hard to put over 35 years of experience on one page.
