Individual Skills and Strengths

I am self-motivated and very hard-working. I believe that I control my on future and strive to be the best I can. Due to my very demanding life having to  manage school, work and the   family. I have become great at multi-tasking, delegating, organizing, planning, and time management. My experience as a union delegate and a nurse had made me very comfortable communicating with those in upper management, and  within the interdisciplinary team, which has lead to meaningful collaborations.

I  also have a strong assertive personality that allows me to advocate for my patients and for the well being of those around me. I am a strong charismatic leader and have the ability to communicate effectively with others. I can articulate myself in a way that motivates others to become engaged in activities and issues of relevance. I am able to break down communication to a level where anyone from any educational background can understand it.

My life struggles and successes have allowed me to be able relate to different types of people, by enabling me to share my experiences. This leads to my ability to reach difficult patients and encourage growth from those around me. I can show empathy and compassion which enables me to build a trusting relationship.

I have a great sense of humor that allows me to make those around me laugh and smile. I am creative with my thinking which allows me to improvise on the spot and come up with great ideas and solve conflict. Another strength is my ability to critical think. It allows me to see the whole instead of the part. Anticipate responses and find solutions.
