Dedicated public health professional with extensive outreach experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a passionate public health professional with a strong background in outreach coordination and community engagement. With a Master's degree in Public Health and a Bachelor's degree in Biology, I have dedicated my career to improving health outcomes for vulnerable populations. My experience includes recruiting patients for medical services, conducting educational outreach, and developing strategies to enhance community health.
Throughout my career, I have worked with various organizations, including American Care Medical Centers and Indelible Health, where I successfully organized recruitment activities and educated patients about sexually transmitted diseases. My ability to communicate effectively and compassionately has allowed me to build trust with patients and facilitate their access to necessary medical care.
I am committed to making a positive impact in public health and am eager to continue my journey in a role that allows me to leverage my skills in outreach, education, and patient advocacy. I thrive in collaborative environments and am always looking for innovative ways to address health disparities in our communities.
