Summary
I am currently participating in a Medical Assistant program and will graduate in June. As part of the program, I’ll be completing a full-time 160-hour externship, which will provide valuable hands-on clinical and administrative experience. I also hold a degree in Communication, which has strengthened my ability to connect with patients, communicate clearly with healthcare teams, and navigate sensitive conversations with empathy and professionalism—skills that are essential to providing quality care.
