Meet Latisha H, Making Deliveries and Saving Lives
DeliverThat takes pride in spotlighting extraordinary drivers like Latisha H, whose nursing expertise and commitment to excellence extend beyond the walls of a hospital. Based in Bel Air, Maryland, Latisha brings her invaluable skills from the healthcare field to the gig economy while driving with DeliverThat.
With a remarkable 14-year career as a registered nurse, Latisha currently juggles local ICU travel nursing in North Maryland, along with her gig-based engagements. "I've been with the same hospital since I've moved to MD about three years ago," she shared. Previously, she worked as an insurance clerk in a hospital before transitioning into nursing.
Outside the hospital, Latisha finds solace in quiet moments with her husband, engaging in their shared love for thrilling TV series and movies. "We're suckers for a good show, especially ones with a plethora of episodes," she laughed. Her flexible schedule with DeliverThat aligns seamlessly with her nursing hours, allowing her to embrace her other interests and contribute to the gig economy.
Seeking flexibility amid her nursing career, Latisha found DeliverThat as the perfect opportunity. "I was looking for something I could do on my days off or after my nursing shifts," she explained. The ability to pick and choose deliveries while maintaining a busy schedule enticed her. "I've never delivered food before, so this was my first experience," she added, sharing her initial apprehensions and eventual exhilaration.
Latisha recalled her debut delivery with a blend of anxiety and excitement. "I remember feeling anxious and even hit 'unavailable' during my first offer," she chuckled. But once she took the plunge, her nerves eased, and she found it refreshingly different from nursing. "It was a smooth process, everyone was nice, and it was a fun change," she reminisced.
For Latisha, the allure of gig driving is the autonomy it offers. "The biggest benefit is the control it gives me over my schedule," she highlighted. Working with a company like DeliverThat, which values drivers' time through offerings like wait time compensation, reinforces her belief in the 'By Drivers, For Drivers' philosophy.
Latisha encourages new drivers to start promptly and embrace the learning curve. "While not every delivery is high-paying, putting in the time matters," she advised, stressing the importance of dedication and perseverance in a competitive market.
Capriotti's, Wegman's, and Honey Baked Ham top Latisha's list for their punctuality, convenience, and friendly staff, making pickups smooth and pleasant.
Her success secret? "I always strive to do my best, regardless of what I'm doing," Latisha modestly shared.
Concluding her thoughts, Latisha praised DeliverThat's guidance and support. "You guys really made my first delivery experience awesome and a great learning curve," she expressed her gratitude.
