SKILLS
ABOUT CORMAC O.
While working in healthcare for the majority of my career, I have found great joy in advancing entrepreneurship inside event healthcare and emergency medical services. My most recent venture was building from the ground up a concierge laboratory for anyone that needed timely and accurate Covid testing solutions. We did our part during a crisis and our clients feedback was incredibly positive. I feel honored to work alongside such dedicated team members and help members of our community in a challenging time.I thrive on meeting new people, building relationships and finding creative \"out of the box\" ways to solve todays problems.In my former life as an adrenaline junkie I was often traveling to distant lands with my trusty paraglider to see new places from an elevated perspective. I\'ve learned that \"adventure begins where your planning stops\" so in todays world it helps find novel solutions to every day problems.
