A clean, modern study desk representing a public health research workspace, featuring an open laptop displaying a simple data dashboard with bar charts and maps, surrounded by neatly stacked academic journals with subtle, non-legible covers, color-coded sticky notes, and a closed notebook with a pen resting diagonally across it. The desk sits near a large window in a bright, minimalist room, with soft midday natural light casting gentle, organized shadows. Shot at eye level with photographic realism and a shallow depth of field that keeps the foreground crisp and the background softly blurred. The mood is professional, focused, and calm, reflecting a dedicated environment for literature reviews and careful academic analysis.

Public Health

A close-up, overhead photographic view of a neatly arranged collection of public health research materials on a pale wooden table: a printed literature review with highlighted sections, a tablet displaying an abstract of a scientific article, a spiral-bound case study report, and a simple resume layout with clean typography. Around them are color-coded highlighters and adhesive tabs. Soft, diffused daylight from an unseen window creates even lighting with minimal shadows, emphasizing clarity and organization. The composition uses the rule of thirds, with documents slightly angled for visual interest. The aesthetic is clean, modern, and professional, evoking precision, critical thinking, and careful academic curation suitable for a student portfolio.

About Me

I am a Health Promotion student at the University of Georgia with a strong interest in pursuing a career in medical device sales. I am passionate about combining my knowledge of healthcare with relationship-building and communication to help connect providers with innovative technologies that improve patient outcomes.

Through my academic experiences, I have developed a solid understanding of health systems and patient needs, along with the ability to clearly communicate complex information. I am especially interested in areas like cardiac rhythm management and electrophysiology, where medical devices play a direct role in saving lives.

I am motivated to continue gaining hands-on experience and building connections in the field as I work toward a career that blends healthcare, innovation, and impact.

Projects:

A large, wall-mounted world map in muted blues and neutrals symbolizing global public health, with small colored pins marking various regions. Below it, a sleek floating shelf holds organized binders labeled with non-readable text, a closed laptop, and a minimalist glass jar containing pens. Soft, indirect afternoon light from the side creates gentle shadows along the wall, adding depth without distraction. Captured in photographic realism from a slightly elevated angle, the composition emphasizes the map as the hero element while keeping everything else subtly in frame. The mood is analytical, globally aware, and forward-looking, aligning with the professional tone of a public health research portfolio.
