As a Medical Laboratory Technologist (MLS) with experience in point-of-care technology and cellular therapy, currently working as a Clinical Application Consultant at Werfen. I am thrilled to share my passion for healthcare and technology with you. If you have questions or just getting started with your career I would love to help and give some advice! Throughout my career, I have gained practical skills in public speaking, communication, critical thinking, and planning, as well as technical skills in manufacturing, processing, and transfusing stem cells for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. I have had the privilege of supporting both healthcare staff and patients, providing insights and advice to improve workflows and engagement in the laboratories. During my time at these institutions, I was responsible for data collection, organization, and analysis for a variety of research projects. This involved identifying key variables, creating data collection protocols, and analyzing the resulting data using software and methods.With my background in laboratory science, I am excited to leverage my expertise to enhance patient care not only from a laboratory standpoint but also from the health technology side. As a Health IT certified professional from Columbia University and an active member of the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS), I have been fortunate enough to be a part of the Emerging Healthcare Leaders Task Force and to serve as an Interoperability Ambassador, moderator, and facilitator for HIMSS 2023 conference. These opportunities have allowed me to take on new challenges and expand my horizons, mentoring and supporting the next generation of healthcare professionals.As someone who believes in lifelong learning and self-improvement. I am enthusiastic about taking on new opportunities and engaging with individuals to learn from experienced professionals and further the advancement in health technologies. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for me in the healthcare and technology industries. With my dedication to enhancing patient care, strong communication skills, and commitment to lifelong learning, I am confident that I will make a positive impact on the field and improve the lives of all.
