Vincent

Vincent

Medical Assistant

I am a first year medical assistant with SanTan Allergy being my first place of employment fresh out of school. I am 20 years old and love to play and watch sports, be outdoors, and hangout with friends and family. I have lived in Arizona my whole life and actually struggle with asthma myself. I feel like having asthma myself allows me to be able to connect with the patients I’m interacting with as I know how hard life can be. I have really come to enjoy all of the things medical assistants do such as caring for patients and helping them do the things they love to do so everybody can be happy. In the future, I am going back to school to become a CST (Certified Surgical Technician). I am always looking to learn new things and expand my knowledge to not only the allergy and asthma side of the field but everything in between. I am willing to help when and where I am needed no matter what lies ahead.
