To Whom It May Concern:
It is with immense compassion I submit my resume for a position(s) within the healthcare environment,
particularly those of Healthcare Administration Management, Healthcare Manager or Administrator. As
of April 25, 2016, I will have received my Bachelors of Science (B of S) degree in Health Administration
Management from the well-established institution of Grand Canyon University (GCU), one I am certainly
proud of acknowledging. As an individual who has positively exceeded the abilities and respect of
humanities, I look forward to providing continued excellence in serving patients within a given medical
setting.
The inception of my interest within the healthcare environment began as a young child. Growing up in a
needy but loving, caring and giving environment, my family and I struggled on a daily basis, but by the
will and Grace of God, we made things work (i.e. meals for the family, clothing, education, etc.) wise.
With what little we had, we conserved, but yet at times when extra sustenance was left over, anyone and
everyone was more than welcome to share with what little we had. Upon vividly reminiscing my younger
days, it gave me great delight and satisfaction to volunteer my time in distributing meals, used – but clean
and in good condition clothing pieces to the much less fortunate than ourselves and contributing my time
towards cleaning up (i.e. picking up debris, rubbish, painting homes, etc.) within the community. Actions
such as these continued to both animate and inspire my soul to always “do good for others, as well as
comfort,” those who were / are in constant need.
The Healthcare Administration Management field is a profession frequently dealing with provisions of
leadership, guidance and management in healthcare systems. These are all qualities I’ve not only gained
from childhood, but have amply and confidently increased within my educational studies at GCU. With
abounding medical facilities investing towards educated professionals in advanced degrees with the
Healthcare Administration Management field, top leadership positions are sensing pressures in delivering
quality medical services. As a possible Healthcare Administration Management employee, my primary
objective will be to create work environments treating patients in the most effective and financial (and
responsible) way(s) possible.
In closing, it is my faith that I have kindled your interest and have allowed you to view me as a viable
candidate in any given Healthcare Administration Management position within your medical setting. I
confidently invite the opportunity for an interview and can be reached via mobile at: (623) 204-2510 or

Respectfully,
