Summary Experience

Through my life time I have been able to dedicate time to both the study of science and service to the community. At age 19, I began my first professional experience as a surgical assistant on the emergency department of the National Public Hospital system of Dominican Republic. In 2005 while studying at Northern Essex Community College in Haverhill, Massachusetts, I was elected the vice-president of the student government at NECC, and I was able to help both the student body, and the Merrimack Valley community through community service. From this point on I was able to further develop my organizational, scientific and qualitative skills through a series of positions both in academia, and the general industry.
