"When we spoke earlier, you mentioned you want to improve patient care and compassion at this facility. I want to offer my strong skills in building patient rapport and improving the satisfaction of everyone that uses the services of Texas Children's Hospital. I plan to make a positive impact very quickly if hired by Texas Children's Hospital."

"If hired today, my first goal is to meet my team and supervisor and see what needs to be accomplished first. As a leader, I collaborate with others to make an impact.
