*****.******@**.***.*** - 347-***-****

Currently, I am a resent graduate from Long Island University with a Bachelors degree in Health Science with

a double minor in Biology and Psychology. I am involved with Kings brook Jewish Medical Center, where I

perform as an Intern in Medical Education Administration. As my enclosed resume indicates, I offer a solid

background of experiences in a variety of different fields as well as a strong dedication to my work. For the

past eight years, I have worked within the medical field at several detail and regulatory environments. Thus,

my experience helped me recognize how vital it is for any health organization to be dealing with that kind of

scrutiny. Some of the experience I can offer to your institution includes billing, inventory control, budgeting,

vendor management and various operational processes. In addition I can also offer my knowledge in medical

procedures, medical terminology and basic nursing practices etc. Through these experiences, I have gained

valuable work experience and team skills that I feel would be an asset to any organization.

About my personality, I can say I am persistent, energetic, reliable, and cooperative individual. I am very driven

and take pride in trying to be the best employee I can be. I am always on time to work, I am very resourceful

and always willing to learn new things to further enhance my knowledge and experience.
