What I'm looking for

I seek a healthcare role combining patient-facing clinical work and clinical research support in a collaborative, learning-focused team with growth opportunities.

I am an aspiring medical assistant and biology student with hands-on research experience in cardiology and immunology, and practical clinical training. I work effectively in fast-paced academic and clinical environments and quickly learn new technologies and procedures.

My research background includes histological tissue analysis, bulk RNA sequencing, and presenting findings at conferences, which sharpened my data interpretation and scientific communication skills. I contributed to projects investigating vascular calcification and immune signaling.

On the clinical side, I hold certifications including Basic Life Support and Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (AMCA), and I am trained in EKG, phlebotomy-limited procedures, vaccination administration, and specimen collection. I am detail-oriented, organized, and committed to patient support and safety.

I also have experience coordinating academic activities, mentoring first-year students, and managing appointments and medical documentation. I seek opportunities where I can combine clinical care, lab experience, and patient-facing responsibilities to contribute to a healthcare team.
