Summary

I am a newly Registered Nurse on the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit at Tulane University Hospital. Before my nursing career, I have had previous customer service experience working as a receptionist, hostess, and cashier where I had the ability to demonstrate my skills in organization, teamwork, and patient &customer care. My goal in any career is to provide an overall positive and welcoming experience which I feel is achieved by my extroverted and colorful personality.
