What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to grow in healthcare, focusing on patient care and community engagement.

As a dedicated Health Science student at Howard University, I am committed to making a positive impact in the healthcare field. My experience as an Office Secretary at Rodney's Painting and Home Improvement has honed my organizational skills, allowing me to effectively coordinate project schedules and provide exceptional customer service. I pride myself on my attention to detail and my ability to communicate professionally with clients and team members alike.

During my internship at JanCare Private Health Services, I gained hands-on experience in patient care, where I conducted vital sign assessments and assisted in coordinating care among healthcare providers. My role required me to be proactive and efficient, ensuring that patient needs were met while supporting the administrative functions of the care team. I am passionate about fostering relationships and providing mentorship, as demonstrated through my involvement with the HU Pipeline to The Mecca initiative and my role as a mentor in the Howard University Student Association.
