Los Angeles, California, United States
I am a pre-dental student at UCLA seeking opportunities to grow within patient-centered healthcare environments, particularly dental assisting, clinical support, and preventive care roles. My goal is to build strong clinical experience while contributing to practices that prioritize patient education, compassionate care, and whole-person health. I bring hands-on healthcare experience as a PRN Phlebotomist and Medical Examiner, where I conduct life insurance exams, perform venipuncture, and guide patients through procedures with clear communication and reassurance. This role has strengthened my clinical precision, infection control practices, and attention to detail while maintaining accurate documentation and patient confidentiality. In addition, as a Team Leader with UCLA BruinCorps, I lead and mentor a team of tutors, coordinate educational programming, and collaborate with school staff to support student success. Through this role I have developed strong leadership, organization, and communication skills while helping foster a positive learning environment. What makes me unique is my combination of clinical healthcare experience and leadership in education and community engagement. I approach patient care with empathy, patience, and strong communication, while also bringing the organization and teamwork needed to support complex clinical environments. Having balanced rigorous academics, multiple jobs, and leadership roles, I have developed resilience, discipline, and a strong commitment to serving others through healthcare.
