Wexford, Pennsylvania, United States
A graduate from John Carroll with a bachelor's degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. As an aspiring medical professional, I am fascinated by the inner workings and complexity of the human body and hope to use my knowledge to help those in need. I have taken many rigorous courses, including microbiology, human anatomy and physiology, and biochemistry. These courses have given me invaluable experience in skills ranging from laboratory techniques to medical testing. Within my professional career, I have worked as both a patient transporter and an acute care rehab aide. These two positions have widened my perspectives and given me invaluable experience within different facets of the medical field.
As an Acute Care Rehabilitation Aide, I am responsible for assisting in the provision of patient care under the direct supervision of the licensed clinical staff, including OT, PT, SLP, PTA, and COTA, and in accordance with practicing state acts for those disciplines. I also provide both clinical and clerical support as required by the facility, as well as transporting patients as necessary in a safe, comfortable, courteous, timely, and professional manner via prescribed transport vehicles. I work primarily on the acute team, but also provide coverage to the TCU and Ortho units as well.
As Co-Chair of the Transport Council, I support the strategic development of transport policy recommendations and the formulation of special projects alongside fellow members. This role emphasises collaborative leadership, evidence-led decision-making, and sustainable outcomes, while fostering strong, effective communication between the Council and the department’s leadership and workforce.
Responsible for providing and coordinating security for a 100,000-square-foot facility, including personal escorts and police reporting. Coordinated assigned duties with my team, allowing them to be completed on time.
Created a clean and learning-conducive environment for all John Carroll students and faculty while maintaining a personal inventory of supplies throughout my shift.
