When interacting with patients, she is friendly and welcoming, and ensures that she has met all their needs before leaving the room. She is keenly attentive to the specific requirements of each department and is always will to lend a hand. Her supervisor notes that Brenda “strives daily to find creative ways to be more efficient in her role.”
