●EXPERIENCE

Acupuncture Relief Project Bajrabarahi, Nepal November 2019 - December 2019

Volunteer

While volunteering for the non-profit, ARP, for 7 weeks I have gained a tremendous amount of experience serving the people of rural Nepal. We work 6 days a week as primary care providers helping to evaluate patient medications, refer to other providers, to get imaging, or blood/urine test at the local lab. We also treat patients with acupuncture, massage, herbs and over the counter medication. Here we get a whole picture of the patient's health, do a proper evaluation obtaining subjective and objective measures, coming to a western and eastern diagnosis, setting up a treatment plan to hit our expected measurable outcomes and inform our patients of our plan and our prognosis.

OCOM CLINIC Portland, Oregon September 2016 - August 2019

Intern

While working for two years as an acupuncture intern I practiced needling, cupping, moxa, preparing and prescribing herbal formulas and tuina massage while serving Portland, Oregon’s downtown community. Learning to properly interview, diagnose and develop treatment plans has allowed me to better serve 375 people, affording me a tremendous practical learning experience.

I would conduct a thorough inspection of forgeign freight vessels when they entered U.S. waterways in order to help them achieve the safety standards set forth by the SOLAS convention. My attention to detail and systematic approach to gathering data has greatly impacted my ability to help people achieve their health goals as an acupuncturist. Also, my experience communicating with international crew members has taught me a great deal about cultural variability and sensitivity.
