Summary

Motivated sterile processing technician with hands-on experience in dental instrument sterilization, recently certified in Sterile Processing and Distribution (SPD) through CBSPD. Seeking to transition into a hospital setting where I can apply my knowledge of infection control, decontamination, and sterilization protocols. Known for strong attention to detail and commitment to patient safety. Took a dedicated break from previous employment to focus on studying sterile processing and earning certification. A fast learner who is excited for new opportunities and eager to grow within a fast-paced healthcare environment while supporting surgical teams through high-quality instrument processing.
