Summary

Hello! My name is Melanie, I am a first generation college student with aspirations to be in the medical field. I am pursuing my degree in Biological Sciences with an emphasis in Physiology (expected spring 2025). Currently I am working as a emergency room volunteer at Kaiser Permanente and a course scribe for organic chemistry at my university. I recently was working as an EMT at Westmed working alongside other healthcare providers which introduced me to direct patient care. I have five years of experience in customer service which has really helped me apply my skills to new opportunities.
