I am currently a member of the Diversity Recruitment Team in the Office of Admissions here at Fairfield University. I work with a team to brainstorm ideas to increase diversity on campus, and to welcome potential students. We take part in a letter-writing campaign, leading the MVP (Multicultural Visit Program), and improving the ways Fairfield can inform students about any questions they may have through videos, posts, and publications.

I greeted guests, gathered information to seat groups or place them on a waitlist, assisted in cleaning and setting up tables, took orders when it was very busy, worked the cash register, helped pack orders, and kept the lobby and workplace clean. I gained a lot of experience in customer service and coordination, as well as how to work better in a team.

I worked side by side with a doctor and was able to scribe, run vision field tests, OCTs, take Optomap photographs, and work up patients prior to seeing the doctor. I also occupied myself with verifying patient information (medications, surgeries, diseases, personal info), filing patient charts, keeping track of assigned medications, and calling patients with updates and/or reminders.
