Aspiring healthcare professional with a focus on health information management.
What I'm looking for
My name is Gabriella Malkoun, and I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Integrated Health Studies at the University of Illinois - Chicago, with an expected graduation in May 2026. My academic journey has been enriched by a minor in Nutrition and relevant coursework in Ethics and Law in Health, Statistics, and Program Design. I have also obtained certifications in Healthcare Accounting and Management from the University of Michigan, which have equipped me with a solid foundation in healthcare operations.
In addition to my studies, I have gained practical experience through an internship in San Jose, Costa Rica, where I audited medical records and learned about privacy regulations similar to HIPAA. My work experience at Ulta Beauty and LA Fitness has honed my customer service and administrative skills, allowing me to engage with clients effectively while managing confidential data. I am passionate about improving healthcare delivery and am eager to contribute to a dynamic team in the health information management field.
