Summary
One of my biggest strengths is working and caring for the public. Owning my own business within the beauty industry exposed me to many different types of people. I excell at helping people feel comfortable both in my salon space and with me as their stylist. Meeting a new stylist can be a vulnerable situation for some people. Part of my job is easing clients anxiety surrounding their service, and making sure they have a good experience from start to finish. This involves showing new clients my personality, as well as my educated background in the services that I provide. I have always been drawn to the medical field, specifically medical imagery. I believe that my strengths in my current profession would apply to a career in ultrasound. Easing the anxiety of patients, and providing top tier patient care is very important in a medical setting and it is something that I would excell at.
