What I'm looking for

I seek opportunities that foster innovation in healthcare, emphasizing collaboration and growth.

I am a multilingual medical professional currently pursuing a Bachelor of Neuroscience and Cognitive Science at the University of Arizona. My journey has been marked by a strong focus on immunology and neuroscience, where I have honed my skills in clinical settings, research, and scientific communication. I have a proven ability to translate complex data into actionable insights, which has been instrumental in supporting medical education and engaging stakeholders across various healthcare and research environments.

Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience as a Medical Assistant at Vitale Institute, where I supported immunologists by documenting clinical encounters and assisting in patient education. My role as an Academic Advisor at the Ministry of Health of Venezuela allowed me to contribute to the design and evaluation of health education programs, aligning them with national health standards. Additionally, my experience as a Clinical and Scientific Medical Officer during analog space missions has equipped me with unique insights into human performance and health monitoring.

I am passionate about advancing evidence-based innovation in the pharmaceutical industry and thrive in diverse environments. My ability to communicate effectively in multiple languages has further enhanced my capability to manage international client relationships and conduct negotiations in bilingual contexts.
