Summary

Currently I am Medical Science Officer, Combat medic and Phlebotomist.

I also attended the University of New Hampshire, majoring in Neuroscience, with a focus in Long Term Memory Formation Sustained Attention, in relation to the cholinergic system.

I then turned my passions towards the field of oral healthcare. However, as fate would have it no other way, i had to withdraw from Boston University DMD program due to injuries given to me a souvenirs while in the Army. Yet, as they say, when one door closes another one opens.

Now, I am switching gears and careers into the field of medical imaging. I am currently enrolled at Tesla MRI Institute of Technology. I plan to graduate in September with my ARRT and ARMRIT.

Overall, I have gained valuable leadership, knowledge and experience as a Combat Medic, Phlebotomist,;Medical Army Officer, Oral Medicine Student and Neuroscientist.
