Summary
Medical Assistant with 15 plus years of experience in the medical field working in the Pediatric Department, looking to expand my knowledge. Had the privilege of working with a dietitian pre-pandemic and it opened my eyes as to how much help and education is needed in the chronic disease department, how knowledge can change the quality of life for future generations to come and how it can help with the quality of life for the ones that are already suffering from a chronic disease. Working with a team that is passionate about helping people get better outcomes with their day to day health struggles and making it a mission to accompany people in their path of getting healthier is a dream of mine.
