Alia Hammad

I moved from Egypt to the United States and am bilingual in English and Arabic. I have been working as a pharmacy technician, where I built skills in patient care, medication handling, and communication in fast-paced environments. I am First Aid certified and find true happiness in helping people, which drives my passion for healthcare. My long term goal is to become a physician, and I am eager to contribute to patient care as a medical assistant while continuing to grow in the medical field
