Summary
With a background as a competitive athlete and experience in the medical field, I have developed a strong set of skills that I am proud to showcase. Being a part of a post-secondary volleyball team reinforced my belief in striving for excellence not only for myself, but also for my teammates, coaching staff, and the institution I represented. I possess qualities such as accountability, responsibility, punctuality, teamwork, and leadership. These attributes have been honed through my experiences and have enabled me to demonstrate composure, concise communication, and professional performance under pressure. Prior to enrolling in the Practical Nurse program at NorQuest, I completed my EMR and National Lifeguard certifications, which further fueled my passion for the healthcare field. As a Licensed Practical Nurse and a valued member of a healthcare team, I am able to maintain composure and professionalism while providing care to patients and interacting with the public in a safe environment. I am excited about the prospect of lifelong learning in a profession that deeply interests me.
