Dedicated medical assistant with expertise in patient care and support.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated medical assistant currently pursuing my Master's in Clinical Psychology at Roosevelt University, expected to graduate in December 2025. My academic background includes a Bachelor's degree in Integrated Health Studies from the University of Illinois at Chicago, where I concentrated on Behavioral Sciences. I also hold a Phlebotomy Technician Certification from MedCerts, which has equipped me with essential skills in patient care and laboratory procedures.
In my current role at the Illinois Bone and Joint Institute, I excel in patient management, including rooming patients, verifying medical histories, and preparing them for various procedures. My experience spans multiple medical settings, including The Pain Center of Illinois and Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital, where I honed my skills in clinical lab assistance and patient interaction. I am fluent in Spanish, which allows me to communicate effectively with a diverse patient population.
