Summary
I am passionate and driven about any project or job I find myself working at. I am also hard-working, and I take constructive criticism well. Working successfully as a volunteer in Africa since 2021 and as a medical intern has given me much experience in collaborative working, leadership skills, problem solving and good communication both with fellow workers and patrons. Furthermore, working as a mathematics learning assistant at George Mason University has given me experience with working patiently with different kinds of individuals, and adjusting material in order to fit different paces of understanding. My positive and bubbly nature also serves to liven up any work place.
