I've been working as a medical scribe in the emergency department for almost 2 years now. I was promoted to scribe ambassador/trainer about 1 year ago. This job has taught me so much, expanding my clinical knowledge exponentially. Combined with my college-level curriculum in pursuit of becoming a physician or APC, I learned so much regarding medical terminology as well as the ins and outs of medical processes in the emergency department. I feel very comfortable working with EHRs, as I have been utilizing EPIC for the last couple of years.

I worked as a youth soccer coach for children aged 3-6 years old since I was a freshman in high school, and only recently stopped, so I could focus on my academic curriculum as a senior in college (still working part-time). I am very passionate about soccer, as I had played throughout my entire grade school years. Despite being an initial student athlete when beginning this job, then moving on to college, where I would later get a part-time job, I maintained my commitment to my boss and the organization. I stopped working this year, but communicated well with my boss, and do have plans to return in the future, on a part-time basis.

I worked at Pepperoni Grill when I stayed with my grandparents in their small hometown for the summer while my grandfather was undergoing cancer treatments. What started as a cold email to one of my favorite restaurants on the island, turned into my first "real" job.
