About

I am a versatile and driven professional with a Bachelor of Arts in English-Creative Writing. My academic background has equipped me with advanced writing, critical analysis, and communication skills that enhance my ability to clearly articulate complex information, think creatively under pressure, and connect meaningfully with both patients and colleagues. I’ve applied these strengths in diverse professional settings, from high-volume retail to my current role as an Anesthesia Technician at a leading academic medical center. I thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments and bring a thoughtful, empathetic approach to both clinical care and team support. With a unique blend of creativity and scientific curiosity, I’m passionate about bridging the gap between technical knowledge and human-centered care.
