Summary
Pre-pharmacy student with a strong academic background in Molecular, Cellular, and Microbial Biology and a genuine passion for patient care and healthcare service. My experiences as a medical scribe allowed me to witness the impact compassionate and attentive healthcare professionals can have on patient outcome. Working closely alongside physicians gave me valuable insight into clinical decision-making, patient communication, and the importance of teamwork in delivering quality care. Additionally, shadowing a clinical pharmacist introduced me to the meaningful role pharmacists play in improving patient outcomes through medication management, patient education, and personalized care. These experiences strengthened my desire to pursue pharmacy and contribute to the healthcare field in a patient-centered and compassionate way. Through leadership opportunities, I have also developed strong communication, mentorship, and organizational skills that continue to shape both my professional growth and commitment to serving others.
