Alvaro Contreras

I am a recent Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Science graduate with a 4.0 GPA from the University of South Florida, dedicated to improving patient care and laboratory efficiency. My background combines hands-on clinical volunteer experience with operational support in high-volume healthcare settings.

At Orlando Health, I supported cardiac rehabilitation and main laboratory operations, coordinating care for roughly 100 patients per month and maintaining a flawless safety record during monitored sessions. I improved workflow efficiency by independently sanitizing equipment and optimizing specimen transport processes.

I consistently delivered reliable, timely work—achieving 98% on-time specimen handoffs and reducing transport delays—while also creating positive patient interactions and directing visitors. My roles demanded strong communication, attention to detail, and the ability to adapt under pressure.

I bring a collaborative mindset from team leadership in extracurricular activities and one-on-one tutoring, where I identified learning gaps and adjusted instruction to boost student comprehension. I seek roles where I can apply clinical knowledge, streamline operations, and contribute to patient-centered teams.
