I consistently achieved a 4.0 grade average while attending Apollo. I also did several hours of internship at OHSU Occupational Medicine. Where I practiced my skills on patients by checking their vitals and preparing the room for the Dr. and assisting with all procedures, and maintaining the patient files.

I also volunteered with a veterinarian at 12 years old where he allowed me to assist in surgeries and taught me how to be a veterinarian assistant. I even educated the patient owners with their animals.
