What I'm looking for

I’m looking for opportunities where I can apply what I’m learning in public health, build professional experience in healthcare settings, and support patient-facing workflows through administration and coordination.

I’m an MPH student who’s spent time in customer-facing roles and patient-administration work, including checking patients into a chiropractic office and making sure paperwork was completed before visits.

At Falk Family Total Health, I also supported care by placing patients on electrical stimulation therapies and helping with comfort using ice packs and pillows, while shadowing a nurse practitioner for 3 hours.

I’ve also done 50+ hours shadowing an orthopedic physician assistant and observed 150+ patient assessments, diagnoses, and treatment plans—plus I bring strong communication from restaurant roles where I answered menu questions and accurately entered orders.
