PERSONAL PROFILE
I joined the medical field, as I wanted to help sick people to relieve their suffering. I possess a very high work ethic. I’m eager
to learn. I’m open to my colleagues’/Paths suggestions to improve work flow as TAT is top priority, but so is high standard and
good quality of work. Ethics is extremely important to me. I am loyal, hardworking and extremely dependable. I’m good at
troubleshooting. I have being working for 33 years in Anatomical Pathology, unbroken service. I have worked hard to get
