Compassionate caregiver and aspiring healthcare professional dedicated to patient support.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated healthcare professional with a Bachelor’s degree in Health Science Studies from Baylor University, specializing in Pre-Medical studies. My journey in healthcare began with hands-on experience as a Medical Assistant at North Austin Pediatrics, where I efficiently managed patient care, administered vaccines, and supported medical procedures. My role involved not only clinical tasks but also bridging communication gaps as a translator for patients and their families, ensuring they received the best care possible.
Currently, I work as a caregiver, providing compassionate support to elderly patients, where I monitor health vitals and administer medications. My commitment to fostering meaningful relationships with patients has been a cornerstone of my approach to healthcare. I have also engaged in research, contributing to studies on public health adherence during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has further solidified my analytical skills and passion for improving community health outcomes.
