Summary

In my past life, I was a successful designer and illustrator. Today, I’m ready to start over and pursue my dream of helping people through healthcare. I'm not afraid of hard work — in fact, I welcome it. I would be proud to become part of a team where I can learn, grow, and make a real difference in people's lives.
