Summary
I take pride in each area of what I do. I excelled as a phlebotomist in both technical skill, performing thousands of successful venipunctures, and patient interaction. I consistently worked hard, remaining the top 1st or 2nd in quantity of work done. I became a medical interpreter to be able to assist patients in more personable setting. I helped create and now lead a research team of students.
I am seeking more patient experience leading up to PA school.
