Jacob Thomas
Summary
Beyond my health science and Medical Assistant background, I’ve spent the last couple of years running large scale student events and managing organizational budgets. I love fast paced environments where I get to solve problems on the spot, coordinate with different teams, and bring people together. I'm organized, used to handling compliance and logistics, and ready to bring that leadership energy to a new team.
