Balancing academics and athletics has strengthened my values of resilience, adaptability, and healthy competition. Excelling in advanced course work and participating in college athletics has taught me how to manage my responsibilities effectively, stay focused under pressure, and to always bring my best self to every situation.As a former student athlete, I can bring a unique skillset of discipline, teamwork, and drive to the health care field. I am currently pursuing a degree in Community Health with a concentration in Health Planning and Administration. My experiences in product positioning, sales strategies, and CRM (Customer Relationship Management) have encouraged me to build my knowledge in advancing health care solutions. The Health Technology Certificate at the University of Illinois will prepare me for a career in an advancing field. Through the Jigsaw Medical, LLC internship program, I gained practical experiences in areas where business and health care intersect. I am eager to expand my knowledge in the health care industry and bring my competitive spirit to help organizations achieve their mission.
