Saint Louis University Certificate – Nuclear Medicine Technology Southern Illinois University Bachelor of Arts – Biology, pre-med curriculum Calculus, statistics, inorganic and organic chemistry, physics Working in health care is all about providing excellent customer service in a very professional manner. As a technologist, I often interacted with patients who were ill and quite anxious. Through years of working in this stressful environment, I have developed great communication skills. An essential component to being a medical technologist is the ability to put patients at ease by actively listening to determine their concerns. Once I’ve obtained an understanding of my customer’s needs I am able to gain their confidence and reassure them. Only after ensuring my customers are relaxed and calm do I then begin to explain the medical procedure. My strength has been my ability to explain complicated medical procedures to patients in a manner that is easy to understand for the non-technical person. I speak their language. I believe my people skills working with anxious patients and medical professionals will be very useful as a network engineer. Working with people in the stressful environment of health care has taught me patience and strengthened my problem-solving skills. I am a good listener and I have learned to stay calm and think clearly while under duress. Accuracy and attention to detail are of primary importance when performing tests for patients, especially tests involving dangerous materials such as radiation. I worked in a pharmacy and was responsible for calculating doses of radiopharmaceuticals to be injected into patients. Ensuring that just the right amount of tracer is used is essential to maintain patient safety and to obtain the highest quality images. One has to maintain full concentration at all times and be conscientious about providing professional and ethical service. This is very challenging in the hectic, fast-paced environment of a hospital, but with proper time management it can be done. Years of experience have taught me to be very organized and efficient. One has to learn to prioritize one’s work when dealing with the ill or injured. When dealing with patients, we call this prioritization – triaging. I learned to manage my time and stay on schedule to ensure that my patients received timely treatment. Many of my computer skills have been self-taught. I am fully capable of doing independent research and finding technical papers online from Microsoft and other software companies and then successfully following the procedures. I was able to set-up my computer for dual-booting by following material that I found online. I have taught myself HTML and CSS from books and have designed multiple websites using my skills, including an e-commerce business that I setup myself. Through independent studying, I was able to obtain these certifications: CCNA, Comp TIA A+, and Oracle PL/SQL. I have worked in a variety of environments from business offices to hospitals. I have worked in an accounting department as an inventory clerk and I have worked as an office manager. I have worked in departments of various sizes from two to twenty employees so I know how to work as a team with my co-workers. For the last five years, I have worked entirely independently while managing all aspects of a small business. I have been successful working alone because I am self-motivated and I know it takes hard work and dedication to be successful in any endeavor. You can depend on me to be prepared and to be there every day giving it my all.
