Summary
I have a passion for helping others and wanting to make a positive impact on society. I realized becoming an OTA/PTA was a job that was perfect for my drive and personality. I'm always willing to learn and adapt to different environments. I consider myself to be a well-organized, friendly and reliable OTA/PTA with proven skills supporting and monitoring patients undergoing OT or PT treatments. I keep the environment I work in positive and organized, I meet deadlines and care about the work I do. I'm a dependable employee seeking new opportunities to expand my skills and contribute to patient-centred care.
