I have pursued many aspects in different professions forming a well-rounded and highly capable asset to every organization. As a 4-year military veteran who earned commendations for performance in tactical and technical capacities, I built my transformational leadership style. I then honed my leadership skills as a retail manager and as an office supervisor for the U.S. Census Bureau. As a previous Paramedic with 2+ years experience, I am highly effective at quickly examining trauma patients, versed in addressing serious medical injuries and illnesses and trained in the use of rescue and medical equipment. I maintain current Firefighter, HAZWOPER, ACLS and CPR certifications. My drive to learn propelled me to continue my education and I recently graduated Magna Cum Laude as a pre med baccalaureate. During undergrad, I practiced in cell-based assay development, molecular biology, genetics and ELISAs, as well as drafting corresponding technical and research documents. My strength is my ability to work with and lead people towards a common goal. As an INFJ, I am civically minded to serve in a healthcare/scientific and leadership profession.
