Itzel Kim

I'm supporting patients and clinical operations at Christopher J. Lee MD PC, where I coordinate scheduling, verify insurance eligibility, process payments, and maintain accurate electronic medical records.

At Rice University's Genome Engineering program, I investigated inherited disorders including sickle cell disease and beta-thalassemia. I evaluated CRISPR-Cas9 therapeutic applications and designed a proposed treatment strategy for beta-thalassemia.

I've also supported pharmacy operations at Kim's Pharmacy, assisting with preparation and labeling of 50+ prescriptions daily, inventory monitoring, and expiration tracking.

I'm pursuing a biology and pre-health education, bringing experience in patient-facing administration, clinical standards, genome editing research, and bilingual communication in Korean and English.
