Ana Lopez
@analopez1
Public health professional dedicated to improving patient care and outcomes.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated public health professional with a strong background in molecular biology and extensive experience in patient care and research. Currently pursuing my Master of Public Health at the University of Miami, I have honed my skills in patient navigation, research assistance, and community outreach. My work as a Patient Navigator has allowed me to support women living with HIV, coordinating their care and linking them to vital resources.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to improving health outcomes through various roles, including my time as a Graduate Research Assistant, where I provided crucial support for HRSA reporting and research initiatives. My volunteer experiences, such as working with hospice patients and as a COVID-19 volunteer, have further deepened my understanding of patient needs and the importance of compassionate care. I thrive in collaborative environments and am passionate about making a positive impact in public health.
