What I'm looking for
I am currently pursuing my M.S. in Pharmacology at the University of California, Irvine, with an anticipated graduation in May 2026. My academic journey began with a B.A. in Music from California State University, Fullerton, where I developed a keen interest in the intersection of science and creativity. My diverse educational background has equipped me with a unique perspective on problem-solving and innovation in the field of pharmacology.
In my recent role as a Research Laboratory Technician at Donor Network West, I honed my skills in performing clinical laboratory tests and collaborating with research scientists on various projects. My meticulous attention to detail and commitment to quality control have been pivotal in ensuring compliance with ethical guidelines and research protocols. Additionally, my experience as a Pharmacy Technician across multiple organizations has provided me with a solid foundation in medication management, patient safety, and effective communication within healthcare settings.
I am passionate about contributing to advancements in pharmacology and am eager to leverage my skills in a dynamic and collaborative environment. I thrive in settings that prioritize innovation and continuous learning, and I am excited about the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the field.
