PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
A dedicated and driven physician assistant student currently doing clinical rotations. I have experience in behavioral medicine, women’s health, pulmonology, pediatrics, general and vascular surgery, emergency medicine, dermatology, and cardiology via my rotations. I also have prior experience in dermatology, which I shadowed in, as well as cardiology via my job as a scribe prior to PA school. In addition, my background includes a strong history of leadership and service, shown by my positions as a team captain on the swim team as well as board member of multiple clubs, and a multitude of volunteering opportunities I have taken on. My job as an athletic manager at the University of Florida also enhanced my communication, time and monetary management, as well as organization and computer skills.
