Hi, my name is Paola.I am a dedicated public health professional with a Bachelor of Science in Public Health from the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). My passion lies in fostering healthier communities through meaningful healthcare initiatives and direct engagement with underserved populations.As a Medical Coordinator at Southwest Key Programs, I work at the intersection of healthcare and community service, ensuring vulnerable populations receive the care and resources they need. My diverse background includes experience as a medical scribe in disaster relief, hospital, and clinic settings, where I gained hands-on knowledge in healthcare delivery and patient care.With skills in electronic medical records (EMRs), mentorship, and creative problem-solving, I bring a unique blend of technical expertise and interpersonal communication to my work. My role has deepened my understanding of health disparities and strengthened my resolve to pursue a future as a public health educator or physician.In my free time, I channel my creativity into painting, caring for my Great Dane, and running. I enjoy running and staying informed by reading public health journals, which keep me motivated and connected to the latest developments in the field.
