Summary

Adept at laboratory research and operations, honed through a role at Iowa State University as a pre-med undergraduate, I excel in running plant-bio experiments and following protocol. My tenure at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi during winter and summer break of 2024 enhanced my proficiency in postoperative ICU care and surgical support within neurological and cardiothoracic fields. Renowned for collaboration and problem-solving, I significantly contribute to team success.
