Summary


My name is Jacqueline Agyeman, and I am currently a Student Anesthesiologist Assistant at the University of New Mexico and a registered Pharmacist for over a decade in the United Kingdom. I am writing to express my interest in a clinical Anesthesia rotation opportunity at your esteemed department for the year 2026. As part of my training, I am keen to gain diverse clinical experiences, and I believe that Gunderson Lutheran Medical Center would provide an excellent platform for my professional growth. Therefore, I am particularly interested in rotating at your hospital to gain valuable experience and insights that would be beneficial in my future career as a CAA.

I would greatly appreciate any information you could provide regarding the application process, available opportunities, and any prerequisites for the rotation. I am eager to contribute to and learn from your distinguished team, and I am confident that this experience would be immensely rewarding for my professional development.

Thank you very much for considering my request. I look forward to the possibility of discussing this opportunity further.

Voluntary Worker

Food4kidz
03.2021 - 06.2021

Volunteering at Food4Kids was a deeply fulfilling experience for me. The organization's mission resonated with my values, and I was inspired by the significant impact they were making in the lives of vulnerable individuals, particularly children.

Many students depend on free lunch programs for the majority of their meals. Unfortunately, when school is not in session during weekends and holidays, these children often face hunger and return to class undernourished, which hampers their ability to focus on learning.

At Food4Kids, I participated actively in addressing this critical issue. My role involved filling backpacks with nonperishable food items and distributing them to students in need, from kindergarten through high school. This initiative aimed to alleviate the hunger challenges these children were facing and ensure they had access to nutritious meals even outside of school hours.

The experience was not only rewarding but also eye-opening, highlighting the importance of community support in tackling food insecurity among young students. It reinforced my belief in the power of collective efforts to bring about positive change and improve the lives of those in need.
