About Kia

Hi, my name's Kia! Right now, I'm an undergraduate student, but I am pursuing a career in medicine (specializing in immunology and gastroenterology.) Although I am interested in the academic aspects of medicine, I believe that the most important quality in any health provider or caregiver is empathy and an ability to connect and communicate with others. I love working with people, and I've cultivated those skills through my teaching and hospital jobs. On a more personal note, my favorite color is green and my favorite food is a pomegranate. I'm a great cook, and I love experimenting with new recipes. Contact me with any questions at all!

Nurse's Assistant

May 2016 - Aug 2016
Brookings Health System
As a nurse's assistant at the Brookings Hospital, I worked primarily on the maternity ward performing administrative tasks and assisting in patient health care. I also translated for Spanish speaking patients and shadowed various medical procedures. When the maternity ward was empty, I worked on the surgical ward and in the hospital's laboratory. On the surgical ward, I took patients' temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, and other vital signs, as well as cultivated relationships with in-patient residents.
