Safety Assistant with hands-on experience supporting workplace safety through regular inspections, data entry, and reporting. Proficient in using spreadsheets to track compliance, document findings, and assist with safety audits.

Shadowed medical students during classes and clinical simulations, gaining firsthand exposure to their learning process and participating in hands-on activities such as musculoskeletal assessments and intubation practice on simulation mannequins; developed soft skills in empathetic communication, professionalism under pressure, and navigating challenging patient interactions, deepening understanding of clinical practice and interest in healthcare.

This role required memorizing case scripts, consistently acting out symptoms and behaviors, and helping create an authentic environment for students to practice communication, diagnostic, and clinical skills. My participation contributed to a hands-on, experiential learning process that helps future physicians improve their bedside manner and clinical reasoning.
