Summary

I am hardworking student with an extensive knowledge of research development and analysis. I am driven and learn quickly, have advanced computer proficiency, and training in health industry operations. Since middle school, I have been passionate and consistent in my efforts to do my part in improving the healthcare system through clinical research. Getting a head start in my college career, taking my ACT in 8th grade and starting college classes at age 13, I have been organized, hardworking, and determined in all aspects of my life, and intend to bring those same aspects into my work at your university. Having taken several classes focusing on bias and discrimination based on race, class, and gender, as well as those with disabilities, I feel well versed and knowledgeable of your mission, as well as passionate of your cause. My research internships have served me well in developing my skills in organized handling of documentation, recordkeeping and data analysis, as well as application and conduction of research. My professional career furthered my skills in medical transcription. I produce accurate reports, charts, and other records from digital dictation files. I meet time-sensitive demands by working quickly and efficiently.
