Summary
I am a proactive junior in college seeking a degree in Health Science. During my high school years, I dedicated myself to setting up a foundation for my future career. In my junior year of high school, I took a patient care technician class and got certified. Then, in my senior year, I took an EMT class and received my certification and license, which I plan to use for employment. Throughout those classes, I gained hands-on experience with real-life situations and got to ride in ambulances during my training. Additionally, I played varsity soccer from my sophomore year to senior year. In college, I made it to the dean's list for the spring 2023 semester at the University of Houston.
