Aspiring anesthesiologist assistant with extensive medical office experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a passionate and devoted student currently pursuing my Master's in Biomedical Sciences, with a Bachelor's in Health Sciences from UCF. With over two years of experience in medical office settings and five years in customer service, I thrive in fast-paced environments where I can multitask effectively. My goal is to become an anesthesiologist assistant, and I am dedicated to gaining the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in this field.
Throughout my career, I have held various roles in the medical field, including Medical Assistant and Optometric Technician, where I performed clinical tasks, managed patient records, and ensured compliance with HIPAA standards. My experience at organizations like ENT Associates and Walgreens has equipped me with a strong foundation in patient care, medical terminology, and the use of medical equipment. I am committed to providing high-quality service and care to patients while maintaining a clean and organized work environment.
