About
I am a dedicated student with strong interests in healthcare, emergency medicine, and public service. I currently serve as a cadet in the SFARY Firefighter/EMS Youth Academy, where I’ve developed skills in leadership, teamwork, and public speaking. Alongside this, I intern as a technical lab assistant in a hospital setting and plan to become a certified medical assistant while continuing my involvement in health-related clubs and HOSA competitions. Outside of academics, I volunteer regularly through community service and play multiple varsity sports, which keep me motivated, disciplined, and team-focused. I value growth, service, and making a positive impact in both my community and future career.

My career goal is to become a Physician Assistant specializing in Emergency Medicine. I am currently gaining foundational experience as a cadet in the Firefighter/EMS Youth Academy and as a hospital technical lab assistant intern. In the near future, I plan to work as an ER Technician while completing a Certified Medical Assistant program to strengthen my clinical and patient care skills. Through continued education, hands-on experience, and community service, I am preparing to advance into PA school, where I aspire to serve diverse populations and provide urgent, life-saving care in emergency settings.
