  About Me
 
I am a recent graduate from USC's Masters of Science in global medicine and I am currently taking the next year to apply to medical school. My ultimate goal is to become a pediatrician.

I started working with kids through babysitting starting in Middle School, and in High School I worked as the Nursery Attendant (children 0-3 years). During 2012 I also worked as a nanny for an 8-12 month old boy. Most recently, I have been working as a tutor at Adventures Ahead with kinder-1st grade students.

My experience with children spans internationally as well, and through my work with UCLA Honduras Mission over the past 6 years, I have led teams of college students to work on the pediatric floor of a hospital in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. With the kids, we would do things as simple as coloring and crafts, but also held classes on health education and assisted the nurses.
