Aspiring physician with an eye on two things: making patient care more efficient, and growing into a physician-scientist. Right now that means urgent care work and the tools I build for it.
Now
Lake Forest Acute Care
- Patient Care Technician & ScribeMay 2025 – Present, since graduating
- Medical Scribe InternAug 2024 – Apr 2025, senior year (fall and spring semesters)
I register and triage patients, take vitals, run rapid tests, and scribe for providers. Working alongside them has shown me where an urgent care visit slows down, which is what got me building charting tools for the clinic.
