Dedicated biology graduate with experience in healthcare and research.
What I'm looking for
As a recent graduate from the University of Georgia with a Bachelor of Arts and Sciences in Biology, I have developed a strong foundation in biological sciences and practical experience in healthcare settings. My time as a Student Worker at the University of Georgia Vision Clinic honed my organizational skills and ability to communicate effectively with healthcare staff, ensuring optimal patient care and safety.
In my role as a Server/Bartender at Amici Athens, I demonstrated my leadership and commitment by efficiently managing high customer volumes during peak times. This experience taught me the importance of teamwork and adaptability in fast-paced environments. Currently, as a Medical Assistant in Pediatrics and Genetics, I am responsible for administrative duties and assisting physicians with patient examinations, further solidifying my passion for healthcare.
My research experience in an Undergraduate Writing Intensive Research Lab allowed me to isolate proteins and genes, evaluate mutations, and collaborate with peers on complex tasks. I am eager to leverage my skills and knowledge in a role that allows me to contribute to patient care and scientific advancements.
