Dedicated healthcare professional with expertise in patient care and nutrition.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated healthcare professional with a strong background in patient care and nutrition. My journey began with a Bachelor's degree in Biology, followed by a Master's in Health Science with a concentration in Nutrition, where I graduated with a GPA of 3.58. My academic achievements reflect my commitment to understanding the complexities of health and wellness.
Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience in various healthcare settings. As an Optometrist Technician at Harlingen Eye Clinic, I honed my skills in patient examination and medical testing, ensuring accurate diagnoses and effective patient care. My role as a Medical Assistant at Gomez Cardiovascular Clinic allowed me to further develop my patient interaction skills, where I focused on improving patient outcomes through education and support. Currently, I am expanding my expertise as a Medical Assistant/Nutritionist at Renovera Medical Wellness & Aesthetic Spa, where I create personalized meal plans and manage the clinic's online presence.
