Summary

Compassionate and driven sophomore at Southern New Hampshire University, pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in General Studies with concentrations in Psychology, Math, and Human Resources. With a deep love for children and a passion for healthcare, I am working toward a career as a neonatal nurse, where I can provide dedicated care to newborns and support their families.

Alongside my healthcare aspirations, I have strong experience in professional settings, including receptionist roles, where I’ve honed my skills in organization, multitasking, and customer service. My ability to communicate effectively, think critically, and adapt to fast-paced environments allows me to thrive in both medical and administrative settings. Dedicated, detail-oriented, and always eager to learn, I am excited to continue growing academically and professionally while gaining hands-on experience in patient care.
