What I'm looking for

I want to continue working in health care while increasing my knowledge and capabilities so I can help patients and medical professionals.

At Ochsner Health, I assist registered nurses with patient transfers between acute health care establishments, coordinating updates, bed availability, and transportation. I’ve also worked as a flight dispatcher, communicating with medical rescue teams and ambulance dispatchers across multiple states.

At Southeastern Louisiana University, I teach Public Speaking and provide feedback to help students improve their speaking skills. I also compose lessons and projects to build their confidence.

As a Teaching Assistant at Xunta de Galicia, I helped English teachers develop students’ speaking ability and taught English to K–6 students, high school students, and adults.

I earned my Master of Arts in Organizational Communication from Southeastern Louisiana University. My career ambitions include continuing my work in health care and increasing my knowledge and capabilities to help patients and medical professionals.
