Summary
Pre-dental student with over four years of experience working directly with patients in a clinical setting. I’m very comfortable interacting with people one-on-one and helping them feel at ease, especially in situations that might feel stressful or unfamiliar. I’m detail-oriented, reliable, and really value clean, organized spaces. Outside of work, I’m very into fitness and wellness, especially mat Pilates, yoga, and walking.
