What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my research and analytical skills in public health, with opportunities for growth and collaboration in a dynamic team environment.

I am a dedicated public health professional currently pursuing my Bachelor of Science degree at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, where I maintain a GPA of 3.7. My academic journey has been complemented by hands-on experiences, including a research internship focused on youth drug abuse, where I collaborated with community stakeholders to implement evidence-based strategies that resulted in a 5% reduction in substance abuse incidents.

In addition to my research experience, I have served as the President of the Cultural Student Association, where I successfully orchestrated large-scale events that fostered cultural exchange and community engagement. My role as a Medical Assistant at Carient Heart and Vascular has further honed my clinical skills, allowing me to assist physicians with diagnostic procedures while ensuring patient records are meticulously managed in compliance with HIPAA regulations.
