Rizma Shrestha

I am a dedicated healthcare professional with a Bachelor of Science in Molecular Cellular Developmental Biology from the University of California, Santa Cruz. Since September 2021, I have been working as a Hemodialysis Patient Care Technician at Fresenius Kidney Care, where I provide safe and effective dialysis therapy under the supervision of licensed nurses. My role involves monitoring patients, performing vascular access cannulation, and ensuring the highest standards of infection control.

In addition to my technical skills, I have a strong commitment to patient care and support. I have volunteered in various capacities, including as a Crisis Counselor for the Crisis Text Line, where I provide compassionate support to individuals in crisis. My experience also includes working at the UCSC Molecular Diagnostic Lab, where I instructed students on COVID-19 testing procedures, ensuring accurate sample collection. I am passionate about making a positive impact in the healthcare field and continuously seek opportunities to grow and contribute to patient well-being.
