Summary

I am a third-year college student with a keen interest in pursuing a career in the healthcare field. As a full-time student, I am dedicated to gaining experience and deepening my understanding of healthcare. I currently work for an optometrist at LensCrafters, where I have experience dealing with insurance, performing pre-examinations for patients, and assisting in selecting glasses. My hobbies include art, which allows me to express my creativity, and I am actively involved in my cultural community as a member of the Armenian Students Association and the Armenian sorority Alpha Gamma Alpha. In these organizations, I have demonstrated my leadership abilities by serving as Social Chair, where I planned and coordinated events, and as Treasurer, where I managed financial responsibilities. I am eager to gain further hands-on experience in the medical field to enhance my passion and knowledge in healthcare.
