Summary

Compassionate pre-PA student and volunteer EMT with a strong commitment to patient care, effective communication, and community engagement. Through shadowing healthcare professionals in hospitals, ERs, clinics, and rehab/addiction centers, I’ve gained valuable insights into the challenges faced by both patients and providers, particularly in urban settings. My EMT experience has further enhanced my ability to manage stressful environments, collaborate with others, and provide compassionate care to patients in need. Eager to continue learning, I am driven to contribute to the healthcare field and further my career in medicine.
