Ashley Gotlib
Summary
I I am a certified EMT-B and Bachelor of Science in Public Health graduate with over six months of hands-on experience as an Emergency Department Patient Care Technician. I bring a strong foundation in emergency medical procedures, patient assessment, and critical life support, and I am committed to delivering compassionate, high-quality care under pressure. My adaptability and collaborative approach allow me to work effectively alongside multidisciplinary healthcare teams to support positive patient outcomes. I hold certifications in BLS, CPR, and NREMT, and am licensed through the IDPH.
Complementing my clinical experience, I am a motivated public health professional with demonstrated expertise in designing and implementing health education campaigns, assessing community health needs, and conducting research focused on the social determinants of health. I am skilled at leveraging health informatics and social media to amplify outreach and drive engagement around public health initiatives. My coursework in epidemiology has sharpened my ability to identify disease patterns, analyze population-level health trends, and connect individual patient care to broader community health outcomes—equipping me to approach public health challenges with both a clinical lens and a systems-level perspective.
