What I'm looking for

I am seeking a hands-on clinical PA role in a collaborative, patient-centered team that offers mentorship, supervised autonomy, and opportunities to apply global health perspectives while advancing clinical skills.

I am a Physician Assistant student with interdisciplinary training in global health and human biology, graduating with high academic distinction. I have maintained a strong academic record and pursued immersive global health study abroad experiences.

In clinical roles I coordinate daily operations, manage inventory, and provide hands-on patient care as a medical assistant. I have documented real-time encounters as a scribe in emergency and internal medicine, led chart audits, created schedules, and managed payroll while supporting continuity of care through referrals and monthly wellness calls.

I hold certifications in nutrition coaching and basic life support and volunteer in pediatric hematology/oncology and the PICU. I am driven to join a collaborative, patient-centered clinical team where I can apply and expand my PA training and contribute to improved patient outcomes.
