What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to apply my medical training, work in a collaborative environment, and contribute to patient care while continuing to grow professionally.

I am a recent M.D. graduate from Saint James School of Medicine, currently pursuing a clinical role to apply my medical training and support patient care teams. My goal is to gain hands-on experience ahead of my residency in 2026. I am dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care to my patients.

During my time as a Cardiac Device Technician at Desert Heart Center, I oversaw the care of over 30 device patients daily, ensuring accurate monitoring and timely follow-up. I assisted cardiologists with data interpretation and treatment planning, which enhanced my clinical decision-making skills. My previous roles as a Medical Assistant and a Medical Scribe have equipped me with a strong foundation in patient assessment, documentation, and procedural assistance.

In addition to my clinical experience, I have contributed to research projects focusing on cardiovascular complications and have co-authored studies that highlight the importance of effective patient education and communication. I thrive in multidisciplinary settings and am eager to continue my journey in medicine, providing high-quality care to those in need.
