What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a healthcare-focused team where I can deliver evidence-based education, support research and data accuracy, and grow through leadership and collaboration while making a measurable impact on community health.

I’m a public health professional committed to focused, consistent work that improves outcomes for real people. With an MPH and a strong healthcare mindset, I bring leadership, operational excellence, and organizational development into every project.

As a Nutrition Educator, I develop and deliver SNAP-Ed–aligned nutrition education using evidence-based resources. I also help create and disseminate nutrition-focused materials (handouts, recipes, and cooking demonstrations), identify community partners, and coordinate targeted outreach to support better dietary quality.

I’ve built research and clinical support experience through roles like Medical Scribe, Clinical Research Assistant, and Research Assistant—where I monitored patient data, processed laboratory samples, reviewed trial data, and updated/corrected information in clinical databases. I’ve also created multilingual HIV prevention brochures and provider training materials, and I produce sexual health education content through social media and a podcast.
