Esteban Barajas

I am a Licensed Registered Nurse with a BSN from Azusa Pacific University. Currently, I am a Master's Nursing Student at Azusa Pacific University. Graduate from California State University Long Beach with a B.S. in Molecular Cell Biology & Physiology, along with a Minor in Chemistry. I last worked at USC Keck School of Medicine in the Medical Oncology Liquid Biopsy Core under Dr. Amir Goldkorn. At Flow Health I was a Validation Lead and Trainer. I co-authored our official SOP guidelines for various assays and protocols. As a student at APU I have excelled in Advanced Critical Care, Pharmacology, and Pathophysiology. During my time at CSULB I excelled in Molecular Biology, Immunology, Biochemistry, Genetics, Cancer Biology, Stem Cell Biology, Virology, and Organic Chemistry. In the past I was certified as a Personal Trainer which bolstered my understanding of human physiology and anatomy, ultimately aiding me in my professional and academic endeavors . Furthermore, I have extensive experience and success in sales and co-founded a music event company, where I managed a team and artists in professional settings. My strengths are my extreme attention to detail, leadership, customer service, friendliness, pragmatism, work ethic, life experience, grit and persistence. I can speak Spanish and have worked in a variety of different fields, thus allowing me to become a jack of many trades at the professional level.
