Accomplishments

    Throughout my career, I have achieved a diverse array of accomplishments that reflect my dedication and versatility. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Health Science, earning cum laude honors, which laid a strong foundation for my professional journey. At Physicians Regional, I built meaningful relationships with patients, enhancing their healthcare experience. My time at Arthrex allowed me to gain hands-on experience across various departments, including packaging, machinery, and quality control, and I furthered my technical skills by completing blueprint reading courses. In 2019, I not only obtained my real estate license but also earned my Associate's degree while working a demanding 70-hour work week. Additionally, I became a certified notary and launched my own business as a permanent makeup artist, where I honed my skills in enhancing clients' beauty through eyebrow and lip tattoos. Each of these experiences has contributed to my personal and professional growth, equipping me with a unique skill set and a passion for helping others.
