Summary

I am currently a student at National University pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Public Health and plan to work as a public health analyst after graduation, focusing on analyzing health data, evaluating programs and policies, and applying evidence-based strategies to improve population health outcomes. I chose public health to advocate for healthier food access, equitable nutrition policies, and preventive approaches that address systemic health challenges within communities and healthcare settings, particularly through initiatives that reduce disparities and improve patient outcomes in hospital systems. In the long term, I aspire to become a trauma surgeon, driven by a strong interest in human anatomy and critical care. I hope to combine my public health training with clinical expertise to provide comprehensive, preventive, and life-saving care while serving others with purpose, integrity, and compassion.

I am experienced with patient transport and maintaining safety protocols in clinical settings through effective communication and coordination to ensure smooth patient transfers. I am knowledgeable of the best practices in hygiene and operational efficiency, contributing to seamless clinical operations.
