Summary

I am a dedicated and motivated freshman at Marist University majoring in Biochemistry on the pre-med track and minoring in Psychology. With a strong interest in science, I bring determination, adaptability, and a proven ability to thrive in team-oriented settings. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, with intermediate proficiency in French, which strengthens my ability to communicate in diverse environments. My experiences include volunteering at Nuvance Health Vassar Brothers Medical Center, where I supported patient care through the “Kindness Cart” program by delivering personal items and comfort to patients while fostering a welcoming atmosphere and assisting patient care technicians. I also have professional experience in fine dining service at Tamarack Hunting Preserve and as a hostess at the Daily Planet Diner, roles that enhanced my organizational, interpersonal, and customer service skills. In addition, I gained international cultural exposure through a study abroad program with American Music Abroad. I am eager to apply my skills, dedication, and passion for helping others as I continue to grow academically and professionally in the medical field
