My Bio: Alexandra Colon
Hello, I'm Alex. A student MA at Bryant & Stratton College. I've learned clinical and administrative skills in school hands-on preparing me for my career as a medical assistant. Starting college was a big change in my life. I didn't know exactly what I was getting myself into, but I adapted and I sacrificed a lot of things that I don't regret and this is how far it has gotten me I am proud of how far I have come so far. I feel like I was guided in the correct path and healthcare is where I belong. I've always had a passion for helping others it doesn't matter who you are. I am looking to grow in health care this is just the beginning. I feel ready to explore, grow, and gain more experience as a clinical or administrative medical assistant.
