What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my medical expertise to enhance community health initiatives and promote wellness.

I am a dedicated public health professional with a robust background in medicine and community health. My experience spans various roles, including Health Screener, Physician, and Medical Director, where I have consistently demonstrated my commitment to improving patient care and health education. At Berry Plastics, I effectively managed front desk activities while ensuring the safety of essential workers during the pandemic. My volunteer work at Lebanon Free Clinic allowed me to evaluate and treat patients, ensuring their health concerns were addressed promptly.

Throughout my career, I have developed and implemented health education programs aimed at preventing chronic diseases, such as diabetes. As a Health Promotions Program Coordinator, I collaborated with experts to educate patients on lifestyle changes, which significantly impacted their health outcomes. My research experience, including work at Fox Chase Cancer Center and Trinity College, has equipped me with the analytical skills necessary to contribute to evidence-based practices in public health.
