Summary

With significant experience in the health sector/administration and customer service, I enjoy engaging and working with people, making a positive impact on their lives. My passion for people, health, and well-being drives me to be empathetic, caring, flexible, hardworking, and reliable while maintaining excellent communication skills. Having traveled extensively, I have had the pleasure of meeting individuals from diverse cultures and backgrounds, which has enriched my perspective. Nature and the outdoors inspire me as I prioritize maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle while embracing new challenges and adventures.
