2/24 I typically spend Mondays planning out social media posts for the upcoming week and getting started on those unless Dr. Leach or Cheryl requests something specific.

2/17 When creating new worksite wellness flyers for the break room, I evaluate and consider what will be most useful for a team of medical professionals.

However, some weeks I provideContinue reading “Week 7”
