Ava Bohn

As a certified Emergency Medical Technician, I excel in high-paced environments, where I strive to provide a patient-centered, effective medical environment. My skills as a Language and Cultural Liaison give me the empathy and connection skills to succeed in the medical field. I am well-versed in the intersection between language learning and cognition benefits because of the research project I conducted in Rouen, France, that focused on the cognitive benefits of being bilingual.
