What I'm looking for

I seek patient-focused clinical roles where I can use bilingual skills, phlebotomy and EKG expertise, and EMR experience to improve care and support team efficiency.

I am a bilingual certified medical assistant and phlebotomist with extensive clinic and hospital experience across Internal Medicine, Family Practice, and Obstetrics & Gynecology. I have performed venipunctures, EKGs, vaccinations, glucose testing, and managed triage and patient intake in multilingual settings.

I have worked as a floater across specialties including Cardiology, Pulmonary, Endocrinology, Nephrology, and Pediatrics, assisting physicians, processing specimens, and maintaining EMR records using systems such as Epic, AllScripts, Practice Fusion, Cerner, and PowerChart. I have also trained in the Vaccines for Children program and completed medical assistant, phlebotomy, and EKG certifications.

Currently studying Brazilian Portuguese and TEFL/TESOL certified, I teach and support patients in multiple languages (English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Portuguese) and prioritize clear communication, efficiency, and compassionate patient care.
