Summary
Hi, I’m Sabina! I’m a third-year student studying Global and Community Health with a biomedical concentration at UC Santa Cruz! I’ve had a mix of hands-on experience, from working as a boba barista, where I learned to stay organized and work efficiently during busy hours, to tutoring English for Mongolian students, helping them improve their speaking skills and prepare for exams. I also have hands-on experience caring for and teaching young children, including those with diverse developmental needs, where I've further developed patience, communication, and effective ways to provide support through structured programs. I am very passionate about working with people, and committed to providing attentive and compassionate care! My versatility and ability to create comfortable and welcoming environments are qualities I look forward to bringing to every patient interaction.
