Summary
I am a Biology major at Pepperdine University with a strong foundation in healthcare and research. I am a certified Medical Assistant and a licensed Pharmacy Technician in California. I have gained hands-on clinical experience as a medical assistant working at a private internal medicine office, where I developed skills in patient care, medication handling, and medical documentation. In addition, my research internship experience at City of Hope has strengthened my ability to work with data, contribute to a team, collaborate on experimental design, and participate in scientific projects.
