Summary

Experienced Trauma Nursing Assistant/Student with an educational background in Neuroscience and Psychology. I pride myself on my work ethic and my continuous drive forward to learn more about humanity, and any pathway where I can help others to learn more about humanity is a pathway I will take. I have professional experience in traumatic medical incidents and the necessary triage procedure required to provide at times life saving care. Beyond the physical, much of my professional experience involves patients of traumatized or compromised metal facilities, and my ability to communicate with people suffering from complex mental trauma is a skill I would bet my life on. I am fluent in Spanish as I had been part of an immersion educational system, and have personal experience in total immersion communication with many Spanish speaking First-Nation Pueblo people, like those on Santa Domingo and Cochiti reservations. As mentioned, any goals which further my understanding of humanity are goals I wish to pursue, as eventually I want to have a doctorate in Anthropology, and I plan on achieving this of course through academia, but more importantly through interactions with different demographics, cultures, and other groups of people who have a different life than I have, both to learn from them, and hopefully impart any wisdom I have learned to hopefully improve their lives as they have enlightened and improved mine.
