Summary
Hi, I’m Sabina! I’m an incoming third-year student studying Global and Community Health with a biomedical concentration at UC Santa Cruz! I’ve certainly had a mix of hands-on experience, from working as a boba barista, where I learned to stay organized and work efficiently during busy times, to tutoring English for Mongolian students, helping them improve their speaking skills and prepare for exams. I also have experience caring for young children, including those with diverse developmental needs, where I've developed patience and effective ways to handle challenging behaviors. Overall, I’m very adaptable, a good communicator, and I find myself to be really skilled in creating comfortable and welcoming environments for the people around me.
