Biography

My journey in the healthcare field began at the age of 17, when I became a Medical Assistant. Being so young at the time presented its own set of challenges. However, I was determined to overcome them and establish myself as a dedicated professional in a demanding field. The knowledge I gained as a Medical Assistant, paired with the hands-on experience I acquired working in various specialties, shaped my understanding of medicine and patient care in ways that no classroom could fully capture.

Over the course of my career, I had the unique privilege of working in diverse areas of medicine as a floating Medical Assistant. This role allowed me to immerse myself in nearly every specialty under the medical umbrella—whether it was pediatrics, cardiology, dermatology, or orthopedics. The experience I gained in these different settings broadened my knowledge and deepened my commitment to providing exceptional care to patients. It was in this capacity that I truly learned the value of adaptability, communication, and teamwork in a medical environment.

For the past five years, I’ve had the honor of educating the next generation of Medical Assistants. My experience as a teacher has been both fulfilling and transformative, as I’ve witnessed students—some of whom could have been my parents and others my peers—graduate and embark on their own careers in healthcare. This diversity in student backgrounds has been a source of personal growth, as it’s allowed me to develop a teaching style that is adaptable, empathetic, and inclusive.

Having previously taught in a college setting, I now find myself transitioning to high school students. This shift will undoubtedly be one of the most challenging aspects of my career. High school students, with their unique needs and life experiences, require a different approach to instruction. However, I am committed to finding innovative ways to engage them, inspire their growth, and equip them with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in the medical field.

Throughout my journey as both a Medical Assistant and a teacher, my dedication has always remained the same: to foster learning, inspire confidence, and make a lasting impact in the lives of my students. I approach each day with passion, recognizing that I am not just teaching a subject, but shaping the future of healthcare professionals who will one day make a difference in the lives of others.
