Summary
Adept at patient care and emergency response, I leveraged my skills in assisting on minor surgeries , sterilization, patient monitoring, and effective communication to enhance patient outcomes at Air Force City Hospital, Northland and Hutt Valley DHB Hospital. My ability to quickly learn and apply new skills, combined with a hardworking and team-oriented approach and familiarity with the routines and processes on the OT complex of HVDHB (as I previously worked as a CSSD technician) lead to significantly improved operational efficiency.
