Objective

Nine years of work experience; concentrated on clinical studies with exposure to nursing. Seeking entry-level medical position at hospital/clinic that will build on clinical skills while making use of organizational and interpersonal skills. Looking to provide patients, physicians, and coworkers with highly professional assistance and attentiveness.

Career Summary

I have served as a summer research intern at Stanford University’s Radiology Department for three summers. This past summer I served as a clinical research intern and worked on clinical projects monitoring patients with osteosarcoma, lymphoma, and renal transplants. I sincerely enjoyed working with these patients and communicating with them about the purpose of our studies. I closely followed HIPAA training, reviewed medical records, communicated with patients in the hospital environment and provided attentive care to help them feel comfortable, monitored vital signs, and prepared patients and exam rooms prior to their MRI/PET scans.

I served as a research intern at Emory University’s Department of Radiology, working on projects with Dr. Duszak, Dr. Applegate, and Dr. Sadigh. I was also granted an internship for two years (2011 & 2012) by the National Institute of Health (NIH) Diversity Supplement Program and worked at the Department of Radiology, Stanford University with the Daldrup-Link lab, a member of the MIPS (Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford) and Stanford Cancer Center, state-of-the-art Lorey L. Lokey Stem Cell Reaserach Institute (SIM1). I also have a strong background in science with specific training in Microbiology, Cellular, and Molecular Biology at Dr. Nawab Ali’s Bioinformatics lab at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.

Contributed a book chapter at Stanford University School of Medicine. “Molecular Imaging: An Introduction” Contributed images to book chapter: “Stem Cell Tracking for Radiology Residents”. We injected labeled stem cells into the brain and provided the images for publication. The images were acquired using a 7T MRI. Also contributed a series references and a few summaries for this book chapter. Book is scheduled to be published with Cambridge University Press.
