Summary
I am a full-time student at the University of Connecticut, studying Biological Sciences. I am currently on the pre-PA track, and planning to specialize in Emergency Medicine. Due to my research on the medical field, I have obtained a profound interest in emergency services. My initial interest in medicine led me to acquire a position as an Emergency Medical Technician. During Fall of 2024, I became a certified Emergency Medical Technician after taking the NREMT exam. During my free time, I work as a Pharmacy Technician. My appeal to medicine has allowed me to connect both the field of pharmacy and emergency services to create a better environment towards current and future patients.
