I have experience supporting healthcare simulation through both technical operations and educational event coordination. My role has included operating and maintaining high-fidelity simulation equipment, including birthing simulators and other advanced clinical training devices. I have assisted in setting up, organizing, and facilitating simulation-based learning experiences for medical students, collaborating closely with physicians and interdisciplinary healthcare teams to ensure realistic and effective training.
I have also contributed to large-scale simulation initiatives, including a DARPA-related event involving over 700 standardized patients and coordination across multiple organizations. This experience strengthened my skills in logistics, team coordination, and executing complex simulation programs.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Prairie View A&M University and a Master of Science in Occupational Therapy from the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences. As a former simulation learner during my occupational therapy training, I bring a unique dual perspective understanding both the learner experience and the technical execution of simulation. This allows me to support engaging, learner-centered training environments.
I am committed to professional growth and plan to expand my expertise by attending healthcare simulation workshops and pursuing certifications through organizations such as ASPE, SSH, and SPOT.
