Motivated medical informatics student seeking a first step into patient-focused healthcare.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m pursuing my first step into the medical field, driven by a genuine desire to help people when they need support or when something feels “wrong.” Through hands-on customer and childcare roles, I’ve built the patience, attention, and people-first mindset that healthcare requires.
My coursework in “Medical informatics” aligns with my goal to support the healthcare process in a meaningful way. In customer-facing work, I practiced accuracy and responsibility—helping people decide what they need, operating the cash register, and ensuring each person was taken care of.
I also bring strong experience working with children and learning environments, including substitute teaching and summer camp counseling. When kids needed help, I stepped in to figure out the problem, provide guidance, and keep things moving smoothly—habits I’m ready to bring into a medical setting.
