Hello, I'm Moe, With over four years of experience in the hospital and healthcare industry, I am a skilled multi-tasker who can handle various administrative, operational, and customer service tasks.

I have a certificate in health care administration and management from Trinidad State College, and I am currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in the same field from Colorado State University Global.

As an Assistant First Responder and Outreach Coordinator at SLV RETAC, I support the coordination and delivery of emergency medical and trauma services in the San Luis Valley region. I also volunteer as a Victim Advocate at the San Luis Valley Victim Response Unit, where I provide crisis intervention, emotional support, and referral services to victims of crime and trauma. My mission is to help improve the health and safety of my community by providing compassionate and professional care to those in need.

Thank you to the 2,000 leaders who’ve generously done the 7 Questions on Leadership!

I hope Moses's answers will encourage you in your leadership journey. Enjoy!

Cheers,

Jonno White
