What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an entry-level role where I can support others, learn in a healthcare-focused environment, and use my organization, communication, and leadership experience to help a team deliver dependable, compassionate service.

I’m a student building my future in healthcare and community impact through hands-on training, research, and service. With AP coursework including AP US Government and Politics, AP US History, and AP Environmental Science, I stay disciplined and curious while preparing for long-term growth.

As Founder and Leader of North Star Mental Health Day, I designed and launched a school-wide event to decrease stress for students and teachers. I coordinated staff meetings, briefed faculty on guidelines, and managed mental-health based activities to foster a supportive environment.

I also volunteer at Overlook Medical Center, providing comfort and companionship while strictly following privacy, infection control, and safety procedures. In the Emergency Room Intern role, I shadowed medical staff and observed treatment and diagnosis for trauma, cardiac events, respiratory distress, and infections—pairing that exposure with research-driven presentations and CPR training through babies and adults.
