Summary
Throughout my current educational and professional career path, I have obtained a BS in Exercise Science with a minor in Allied Health, BLS/CPR, PALS, ACLS, and PHTLS certifications, an EMT-Paramedic license, and many valuable skills to contribute to a team environment in the medical field. Being a paramedic and now pursuing my RN has allowed me to learn, familiarize myself with, and understand not only how emergency services work, but also how the hospital system as a whole works. In a team-oriented environment, I bring a positive attitude, a desire to further my knowledge and professional skills, and detail-oriented and personable traits.
