Summary

As a results focused nurse with 9+ years’ experience in the surgical and theatre environment, I am an advocate for patients’ health concerns, and simultaneously possessing expert knowledge in the latest products of pharmaceutical and medical trade equipment. I have aspirations to succeed and continue learning, and furthermore, wish to secure a position as a Medical Sales Representative and surpass origination goals. With in depth knowledge of Orthopaedics procedures, including ACL , RCR, Meniscal Repair, and Arthroscopies (Involving the usage of Anchors, Fibre Wires, Buttons, Shavers etc.), Major joint replacement including MAKO, Trauma (Involving the usage of screws and plates) and Upper Extremeties Joint Replacements such as Elbows and Shoulders. This knowledge base provides me with the confidence to advise surgeon’s on best usage and relevance of surgical and prosthesis equipment.
