A little bit about me

Born in New Orleans and raised in Maryland, I earned my bachelor’s in Health Sciences and am a medical school applicant with a deep passion for working with children and families. I have several years of experience in both clinical and community settings, including pediatric research at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and volunteering in the Trauma Unit at Children’s National. While in college, I founded a STEM enrichment program for kids, creating hands-on activities that inspire curiosity and confidence. I currently work as a pediatric medical assistant, caring for children from newborns to young adults. I am patient, dependable, and nurturing, with a strong commitment to safety. Working alongside pediatricians has deepened my dedication to building meaningful relationships with children and providing a calm, structured, and loving environment where they feel safe and supported.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

As a former volunteer at Children’s National in New Orleans, I supported children in the Trauma Unit by reading stories, playing games, and sitting with young patients whose families couldn’t be present. I made an effort to create a warm, comforting environment during those difficult moments. I also shadowed pediatricians at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, observing how they partner with families to detect genetic abnormalities and support children’s long-term health. Currently, as a pediatric medical assistant, I work closely with physicians to deliver compassionate, high-quality care to patients from newborns to young adults, always prioritizing each child’s comfort and well-being.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

With my extensive background in STEM, I enjoy making learning exciting and accessible for all children. Outdoors, I enjoy nature scavenger hunts, backyard science explorations, and active play. Indoors, I enjoy diving into creative projects, story-times, and educational games. I believe in meeting children where they are, nurturing their interests while gently introducing new ideas through play and discovery.
