Summary
A dedicated professional with experience in healthcare and academics. As a Health Scholar in the ER, I assisted with patient care, vital signs, mobility, and supply management in a high-pressure environment. I also served as an Embedded Chemistry Tutor, supporting students in general and organic chemistry labs. My research at WWU focused on enzyme-substrate interactions through molecular dynamics simulations. Additionally, I helped K-12 students improve their math and English skills. These roles have strengthened my teamwork, communication, and problem-solving abilities.
