Safely transported patients to and from rooms, testing areas, and procedures while keeping them comfortable and informed throughout the process. Helped patients get in and out of wheelchairs, stretchers, and beds using proper lifting and safety techniques. Communicated with nurses, technicians, and other staff to make sure patients arrived on time and received the support they needed. Kept transport equipment clean and organized, and provided a calm, friendly presence to help ease patient stress during transitions.

As a 7th-grade science teacher at KIPP Tulsa College Preparatory School, I served 110 students. My personally designed curriculum included lessons on Chemical Reactions; Development and Reproduction of Organisms; Matter and Energy in Ecosystems; Relationships in Ecosystems; and Geological Science. I increased the 7th-grade science standardized test scores by 63% for KTCP. I also implemented performance improvement plans for low-performing students through a joint effort with parents to close the academic gap brought on by a disruption in in-person learning due to COVID-19.

Worked as a research technician in a wet lab studying HIV specimens, handling all samples with strict biosafety and sterile technique. Maintained clean, contamination-free workspaces by sterilizing equipment, disinfecting surfaces, and following established protocols. Managed tool and supply inventory by organizing materials, tracking usage, and ensuring critical items were always stocked and ready for use. Performed detailed sample processing, reagent preparation, and data collection while adhering to safety, infection-control, and documentation standards. Operated and maintained lab instruments, monitored quality controls, and quickly adapted to new procedures, updated protocols, and shifting project needs. Consistently upheld high standards of accuracy, organization, and sterile workflow in a fast-paced research environment.
